I agree with yasuki's comments. Stayed there two weeks ago as a gold on an overnight award stay. The place is buzzing with airline crews on layovers. Public areas and my room were in excellent condition. I was placed on the second highest floor. The buffet breakfast spread was pretty good and included as a gold amenity (thank goodness otherwise would have to pay about $22). Aside from the breakfast buffet, never ate in any of the other restaurants. Went to Jusco's at the Aeon shopping mall, purchased tempura, yakitori, sashimi, musubi, nori senbei and a couple of Asahis to satisfy my hunger.
In addition to the airport, the hotel shuttle will take you to JR Narita station and that's about it. I used the circle bus (150 yen) to/from Aeon and Shinshoji otera. Neither run frequently, so plan accordingly. As with all forms of transportation in Japan, however, they are prompt to the minute. If at all possible, avoid the taxis even for short hops into town.
