On a side note the reviews on the executive lounges were spot on. Good breakfast with enough to feed the three of us with little issue. The evening food options were enough to keep you from going hungry but not a real meal by any means.
My wife loved the cleaning service when it returned her jeans in a Clothing box and folded within Tissue paper.

I think that the Garden/Bay view rooms are better, but last time I went I was upgraded to a City-view Executive room. At check-in, they told me that a further upgrade to a Garden-view Executive room would be another 3500 Yen or so.

The garden view rooms themselves aren't any "better" than their city view counterparts as the only difference is the view you get and the room itself are equal.
So you are choosing between Garden or City view, some prefer the calmness of the garden view and some prefer the view over the Tokyo skyline.

RamGuy - you're right, I misspoke.. the garden rooms themselves definitely aren't any better, however I personally like the view from that side much better. When I last had a city view room there, I didn't find the view to be anything special. Garden view rooms, on the other hand, have a view that I really enjoy - especially in a city as bustling as Tokyo, it's a treat to be able to look out on a garden and the water.

With the recent tragedies in Japan, would you recommend us to postpone our trip to Tokyo this July or do you think it would be okay to go there this summer holidays considering its several months into the future and Tokyo isn't that effected of the tsunami?

Currently staying at the hotel. It seems like there are very few people staying at the hotel now. Very quiet. There was no live music at the lobby bar last night. The club lounge had been closed for a month but it reopened yesterday for afternoon tea and evening cocktails. Breakfast was offered at the restaurant downstairs. They only offered set menu breakfast. No buffet.

I was looking at the time table of Airport Limousine to Park Hotel from Haneda but it seems the last bus is at 15:00. I'll be arriving on AA 163 from JFK at 22:15. Is monorail only option during late night hours?

Any reports on how things are going these days? Many people staying? Has the executive lounge come back up and running or do you still need to go with a set menu breakfast in the restaurant downstairs?

Both Tues and Weds morn walked in just before they were going to brake it down and there was only 1 other person @ 10:15am, re:nights Mon walked in at 8 something it was dead, Weds walked in @ 6+ it was full and very loud, walked back @ 9:00 and it was empty
ran into the same problem seems the Hotel will Only Upgrade a person to the Exec Floor city view if you want the Bay view they will charge you. I stayed with the city view. Never had this at any other Hotel as usually its only the Suites that are off-limits. Did walk into a Bay room to take some pics that was open and not occupied, it isnt the same layout @ least for those with DBs, the beds are somewhat hidden behind a room length wall , giving it a sense of a Jr suite unless that was a Jr suite didnt know they had them

Just got back from a 4 night stay. They gave me the Exec floor with city view but was one level down from the lounge. Not too busy. Breakfast was fine with a chef to do eggs and other assortments.
Evenings were not too busy, food consisted of highlights from the restaurants in the hotel. First nite had dishes from Gordon Ramsey, missed the next two nights but on the 4th night had dishes prepared from the Chinese restaurant. Overall very happy, as a diamond you get to use the indoor pool on the 28th? floor, went to take a peek and it was wonderful. never had the time to use it.

Sounds like the bay view suite to me.
