I'm at the hotel right now and overall it is nice. The room I'm in is a plain guest room and is fairly large for Japan and the shower is very large for here. Lighting is good and each side of the bed has a power outlet and USB port. In addition near a table there are three open outlets. The breakfast buffet is rather basic but if you get it as a gold or platinum it is worth it. Other then coffee which is awful and the mugs are metal and get very hot.
At the same time, despite the really nice and professional people in the hotel management, service on a level of basic employees remains disappointing. Perhaps due to the fact that majority of them are not from the hospitality industry background. It will improve eventually, I believe. At the time of my stay, I was not greeted as a Platinum, did not get a personalized welcome letter/amenity in the room, discovered a used condom packaging (thankfully not a condom itself) below the bed – not under it, it was lying outside in a plain sight, and have been woken up by some employee in the early morning because he got a brilliant idea to apologize for the day of check-in, at 10 AM, and ruined my sleep.

I’m here right now. Here is the benefit offered for Gold and Platinums. Breakfast is offered! The hotel is nice and I like the design but it doesn’t feel really durable. They provide everything you would expect from a Japanese hotel including nightwear (at the front desk). We were also offered drink coupons that we can use at the 24h bar.

That breakfast spread looks much more extensive than Moxy Tokyo was when I stayed there in August. Moxy Tokyo also didn't provide breakfast, although the 10 USD was roughly the cost of breakfast anyway. I'm pretty sure the hotels have the same manager and the interior is basically identical based on these photos, so I don't understand the difference.

This looks exactly the same as Moxy Tokyo's breakfast, IMHO. I was at Moxy Tokyo in July pre-merger and was offered breakfast as a Plat benefit, FWIW.

I was there for five days in late August and there was no fruit for any of the days, nor any of the vegetable garnishes shown in the photos. This was post-merger.
