Your only choice for that would be the "Caffe" restaurant breakfast that opens at 6am or room service. Otherwise you're SOL.

You can ask the club lounge attendants if it's possible to get a voucher for the restaurant in case of an early departure.

No it's not but that won't help you. The Club Lounge isn't open at 6am so you won't be able to have breakfast there early morning.

Lol, that brings breakfast into play for me. I complain when they end at 9 or 10

Still a killer value as a 4. Among other things you can still use your CC annual cert which is a phenomenal value for that annual cert

It costs me 15,000 Chase ultimate reward points now. Thats $225 travel cash. Not a killer value.

$225 for a hotel room in Tokyo is pretty good. Personally I value both Chase UR and Hyatt pts at 2c but even $300 for a hotel room in Tokyo is not bad. But of course if you can find a better cash rate you should probably pay cash.

Don't forget to include service charges and taxes in your cash rate.

Then Im going for Airbnb. Closer to $125-$150 and I get a kitchen. Not a fair comparison. But thats why its not a killer value at 15,000 points.

IMO value really depends how you plan to get around Tokyo.

If by train, Oedo line is right under the hotel and can be useful for getting around. If you're a 15 min walk to a nearby line, then you're talking 30 mins of idle time walking back and forth.

I find the location here among one of the best of all the hotels I've stayed at, an additional plus with the shuttle to Shinjuku station.

staying at this hotel ATM. Its sad to see that this hotel is going up a category among all other Japanese properties. However, the hotel is like a ghost town now. Even staffs said they have not seem hotel this empty since they started working here. If the occupancy rates are low throughout the year, they may go back down to category 3 next spring?

They have already cancelled the marathon now, that's a huge cut for tourists coming to Japan.

Just finished a 5 night stay at this property! Thought it was an incredible bargain as a Category 3. For a Category 4 I’d have to weigh other options. I paid 17k for a Club King Room, primarily so I could guarantee myself a newly renovated room. Most of the comments here are spot on in terms of the Happy Hour food (not particularly memorable, but there is so much else to eat in Tokyo that it was not an issue for me, and I love hotel clubs normally). The breakfast was decent/did the job, and at 7am not crowded at all. At 9am it is much busier and if the tables fill up they will let you dine in the kitchen below.

The bathroom and shower/tub were great. Really good water pressure and I like the convenience of being able to use the tub or shower right next to each other. Makes rinsing off after a soak very easy! The automated blinds also work very well, and definitely block out all sunlight so that if you take an afternoon nap the room will still be pitch black. Access to Tochamae station was convenient as well about 50% of the time. Otherwise sometimes it was just easier to walk to Shinjuku station or Nishi-Shinjuku station.

Happy to answer any questions people might have for a recent stay!
