This was true in our experience also. Stayed here a year and a half ago as 2 adults + 1 toddler in a Club King room. They wouldn't allow us to have a rollaway bed (citing limited space), or even a crib as the cribs were only for babies 12 months and younger. In the end our son just shared the bed with us and it was fine. The funny thing is the room had more than enough space to fit a rollaway!

Just completed a recent stay. I was wary of staying here again based on the poor wifi that was offered during my last stay in 2015 (15 minute limit in the lobby, special router required for in-room wifi for a nominal charge that didn't even work properly). This time, however, I was notified of their new wifi in the lobby (which didn't appear to have a time limit) and free wifi in the rooms with no individual router necessary.
The free shuttle to Shinjuku Station is a nice amenity, although it would be nice if it ran earlier than 8am and later than 10pm.
Overall, however, another pleasant stay at the Hyatt Regency Tokyo.

I hear that there's on going renovation. Have specific parts of the hotels finished renovating if so which rooms?
Does anyone have any restaurant suggestions around the area that's geared more toward locals rather than tourist restaurants?

, but here are some places we really liked to hit when hungry.Two (very) small and (very) good raumen shops.
I also threw in a curry spot (it's a big chain though).
Oh, and a drug store (in case you need something there, but I also found that the drinks there were MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than the 7eleven on ground floor. The drug store is actually on the way so you can stop by to stock up after eating.
I have been to all those. They are foreigner friendly, cheap, and very good.
You will find some other restaurants in that area, so have fun exploring that little corner!

I'm probably not the best person to help you with this, but maybe giving just a bit of details on your mobility and expectations could help others guide you!

Who'd you ask about availability: HGP or HRT? If HGP ask the hotel directly.

Locals? I don't know since I am not a local , but here are some places we really liked to hit when hungry.
Two (very) small and (very) good raumen shops.
I also threw in a curry spot (it's a big chain though).

Atrium Suite Family of Four
I booked using cash and points for 8 nights, used one DSU to upgrade to the Atrium Suite, they gave me the extra night upgrade for free since DSU is suppose to be for 7 days max.
I contacted the hotel in advance since we are a family of four with two children under 12 years old, hotel website say maximum of three persons in the suite, the hotel said it was fine using existing beds. The Atrium suite has two double beds and the sofa can sleep one if needed. Only one toilet in the suite though. The suite has one window to the outside also, the rest faces wihtin the lobby.
I arrived at Haneda 4am and got to hotel around 6.30am, they allow me early check-on without extra charge too, which was nice.
The Atrium suite had a bottle of Italian wine and a plate of fruit, every time we ate something from the plate of fruit, they replenish it throughout the stay. Papaya (very sweet), grapefruit, apple, plum and kiwi fruit.
The lounge was better than any US lounge I have been, for breakfeast it has a egg dish, sausages, bacon, a pasta or potato, salads, cold meat, smoke salmon, melon, grapes and grapfruit and assorted bakery goods. One breakfeast we tried the buffet, $110 USD for 2A and 2C, and the buffet compare to lounge only had the extra japanese miso soup, rice, mackeral and pickles, and omelete station, else pretty much the same as the lounge. Not worth it in my opinion.
On the weekend, their japanese resturant has a buffet lunch at USD 50, has all you can eat sushi and sashimi and tempura. I thought it was a good deal.
For 90USD (include tax) plus 7,500 points, I think it is a bargain.
They also have the shuttle bus that goes to the Shinujuku station every 20 minutes, very convient. The exit that comes out at the shuttle bus stop is B17. Since depending on which subway/train line you take, you end up eveywhere within the station. So follow the sign to B17 exit and you come up at the bus stop.
Lots of food at the shinjuku station. There is Ippudo ramen close to hotel, use google map search.

Yes, but, we are talking about Asia and our expectations are comparisons to other hotels in Asia, especially hotel lounges in China. Unless we're using the typical American corporate lingo, APEJ.
