Also, wanted to add that the medical clinic in the hotel was amazing. My wife got sick towards the end of our vacation and werent sure if we were going to make our flight. the doctor at the clinic was able to understand english, and prescribed her medicine right there to take. total cost was like 40 USD.

We had a good experience with that clinic a few years ago as well.

I was not impressed at all during my stay at this Sheraton last year. Thank god SPG has now opened a decent hotel in Tokyo, the Prince Gallery Kioicho, and I won't have to stay at the Andaz outside of the program anymore.

Exclamation Sheraton Miyako Tokyo versus The Westin Tokyo

Not only that, I've tried using Starpoints to book that hotel and it is never available. Following a bunch of reviews on here and TripAdvisor, we've booked the Westin but I wasn't too happy with how either hotel sounded.

The Prince doesn't make standard rooms available for SPG redemptions; but you should be able to book it by calling for one of the upgraded rooms at 21k a night, I believe.

The Prince is significantly pricier than the Sheraton, but not for nothing. It's one my favorite SPG properties overall, and one of the best hotels in Tokyo. It's absolutely stellar!

Pictures of the hotel are gorgeous. I'll need to check it out sometime, either on points or my own dime, because my work sure as hell isnt gonna pay for it, LOL

At 21k points I would definitely take Prince over Sheraton at 12k.

Ridiculously over priced redemption for 12k pts.

I just booked a five night award stay at the Sheraton Miyako Tokyo in August.

The wording on the 'Terms and Details' booking page states "at this hotel guests 17 and under are considered children. All other guests are considered adults".

Does this mean that my three children can sleep in the room using existing bedding with no extra charges?

I'm not saying that sharing one room is ideal but we're starting a RTW year of travel with 11 nights in Japan. Although we're not spending alot of time in expensive coutries, every bit adds up over a year.

I don't expect lounge access to be extended to the kids but am wondering about the room.

I was hoping to cancel cash reservations for two rooms at the Westin for the same dates.

Physically fitting 4 people plus bags in a typical room at this hotel has little chance of success...I just don't see how it can be done.

Was just there an few weeks ago and got the worse possible room that has yet to be renovated.

You and 3 kids right? If just that than you'll be able to fit fine.

This hotel wouldn't be upgrading you to an suite unless you know the GM personally.

The most basic king bed room. Would have bee nice to get an better room that at least wasn't on the club floor.

First time ever, booked most basic room got most basic room
That's why I always love SPG interms of loyalty.

Will stick with Hyatt in Tokyo as usual for me.

The new Prince Gallery is amazing, if you care about something good from SPG. (That said, you can't really go wrong with the Andaz.)
