The good:
Staff here was welcoming and gracious at every turn.
Staying on the executive floor got us the lounge access and our own check-in/concierge desk. When we arrived, it was teatime and we were impressed with the multitude of finger sandwiches, desserts, cookies, and hot and cold drinks. We missed the evening and the breakfast offerings, but when we went in shortly after breakfast ended, it looked like there had been a lot of choices. We still had access to some whole bananas, kiwi, and apples, and hot and cold drinks.
The room was clean and our Japanese-decor room included a shoji-screened window covering that blocked out light, and offered gorgeous city views.
The could be better:
When we arrived, the room was super warm and stuffy, so we set the a/c to the lowest possible temperature. Sadly, even after 12 full hours of it running, cool air (not cold) only trickled out - so the room never cooled off completely. The halls in the hotel were always warm too.
They offer a shuttle from and to the JR station, but it runs infrequently - once per hour, I believe.
Though the room was nice and the executive lounge food is so generous that you'd easily get by without any other food, the limited shuttle service to the station and the weak a/c would make me choose a different hotel next time.
