IC Tokyo Bay question
I noticed that IC was having a 72 hour sale for a Tokyo Bay and came across this language:
TAX: 5% per night not included in rate effective 1 September, 2009 thru 4 September, 2009
ADDITIONAL 200 JPY CITY TAX PER PERSON PER NIGHT FOR ALL RATES ABOVE 15000 JPY.
10% per night not included in rate effective 1 September, 2009 thru 4 September, 2009
I realize I can't get out of the tax ... because ... well, it's TAX. But what is the additional 10% per night? Seems like a way to show low rates, but tack on an additional 10% revenue. If that's the case, then 
TAX: 5% per night not included in rate effective 1 September, 2009 thru 4 September, 2009
ADDITIONAL 200 JPY CITY TAX PER PERSON PER NIGHT FOR ALL RATES ABOVE 15000 JPY.
10% per night not included in rate effective 1 September, 2009 thru 4 September, 2009

First, I think you are posting at the wrong forum as this is only an IC stay forum.
The additional 10% service charge is pretty normal beside the room rate and taxes. Other hotel chains like Hilton & Starwood do charge the same % on service charge.

Apologies if this was covered in another thread... couldn't find it.
If I book a night through this 72 hour sale, is it still considered a qualifying night? 11000 yen seems really really good.

Stays booked under last spring's similar sale were qualifying at both the IC Yokohama Bay and IC Tokyo Bay.
