When you first enter the hotel it's great - common areas (lobby/lounge/restaurant) are hip and cool and well designed. After a couple of mediocre hotels I thought to myself "finally!"
But... Looks can be deceiving. The 4+ star lobby gives way to a 2-3 star room.
Our room lacked any of the personality of downstairs, with no decoration or design and was quite small. As others have noted, it's awkwardly laid out, with separate toilet, wet shower (with no shelving) and then the sink in the room, about 1 meter from the beds. If you're traveling with someone you aren't super close with, good luck having any privacy when showering and dressing.
Wifi is terrible. Water pressure is decent.
Windows have blinds, not curtains, so the light comes blazing in at 4am, ensuring you awaken with the rising sun.
Location is a mixed bag. Short 5 minute walk to the subway station. 20 minutes to Kyocera dome. But a good 30 minute walk to the common tourist areas of the city, so YMMV depending on the experience you're looking for. Pretty limited dining options in the immediate vicinity, but there is a very nice grocery store just downstairs with tons of ready-to-eat fare. Hotel restaurant looked and smelled good, but I was chased off by the Y3000-4000 price tag for a pizza.
Bottom line - a functional room, but given the common areas, I was left wanting more... Or paying less.
