Quite frankly, this might be the nicest hotel I have EVER stayed in . . . and that's saying ALOT!!!
The view of the city from our room is incredible. (What view wouldn't be from the 49th floor?)
We were able to get a room with two double beds (which was a necessity because of traveling with our 3 yr old twins). Of course, just a single bed is an option as well. Rooms were ultra contemporary and modern. Our girls were fascinated by the automated toilet which lifts the lid as you enter the room, flushes and closes as you leave.
The hotel is located in the (sort of) heart of Osaka. This city is A LOT larger than I thought it would be.
Since they are partners with Universal Osaka, you can buy the tickets at the hotel (versus the park). Same price, NO line!!! One day or two day passes available.
Easy access to the subways and JR trains.
FREE High speed WiFi.
The hotel is actually located above a HUGE shopping mall (14 stories worth). The Marriott starts on the 19th floor. There's an observation deck on the 16th floor. However, I'm pretty sure the view from my room is much better, plus there's A/C. The observation deck does have some nice greenery, sitting areas, etc. Lobby, registration, concierge, etc. are on the 19th floor. Guest rooms go up to the 56th floor. There are two (I think) restaurants, a buffet on the 19th floor and one on the 57th. There is also a cafe, a dessert bar, a bar, spa, etc, etc.
