I've got my first trip to Japan in almost 10 years coming up. I need to book two 1 night stays in Tokyo at either end of the trip, when I'll be arriving from and departing via HND. While something reasonably convenient would be nice, it's not actually a hard requirement. My primary preference is actually for a hotel that will honor the 4pm late checkout. In my past stays this has never been a problem, 4pm late checkout is in the rules of the program so I've always been proactively offered it at every property I've stayed at in Japan, but reading some recent reviews of some properties it sounds like this might no longer be ironclad?
My current short list is the Tokyo Marriott (which I've stayed at before) and Mesm. The Sheraton is also within the same price range, but is a bit less convenient. I'd consider the JW, but it's about twice the price of the other options.
Appreciate any thoughts...
