Any feedback?
Bad? Good?
Near anything besides the train station?

I think we are going with the New Otani. They love that part of town and know it very well.
Thanks for the tips.

And $150 for a double room is a lot to me! I want something good from it!!!

Membership is free and it gets you a free breakfast (and free use of the gym and the pool in the summer months, I think).
Also - When you check in, you should ask if your stay will earn you some airline miles. Last time I stayed at their sister hotel in Osaka, they told me that my rate would not qualify for JAL miles, but they could give me a few UA miles.
Better than a slap in the face with a wet fish - eh?
