We just returned from our 7 day stay. This was a fortieth anniversary vacation trip. Loved the hotel.

1. Though this is a Marriott Courtyard, it is comparable to a full service Marriott. Don't let the older outside facade deter you.
2. The wonderful staff made this this a truly exceptional experience. No exceptions-all the staff. Free coffee in the lobby.
3. Business center offered free internet. It was wonderful to send daily e-mail to family and friends. Kept up with news and sports. Airport bus dropped you off at the hotel. Two hour ride in, one hour ride back. 40 miles to Narita airport.
4, Less than a 10 minute walk to Tsujki fish market. Do walk through the market by 0600. Go all the way to the back to catch some Tuna auctions. We found they were not closed to the public. A must experience. Sushi breakfast at the fish market was very good, but very crowded and expensive. Market was a truly unforgetttable experience. Still worthwhile to visit by 0800.
5. We ate the lunch buffet at the hotel, and for $20, we considered it a good value. We ate breakfast at Dennys across the street. Open 24 hours, and a very good French Toast or eggs, bacon and sausage was $4.50-$5.00. Coffee was $3.20 extra and very good. Free refills? Sometimes.
6. Three block walk to the shopping in the heart of Ginza. We loved buying food in the basement floors of the major department stores. Restaurants are on the top floors. Convenience stores were plentiful, open 24 hours, and had some nice food and drinks. Canned coffe and canned soft drinks were very good, and averaged $1.20.
7. Hotel had wonderful detailed guides to key attractions, including easy to follow subway directions. Subways were a fun experience, and very easy to use. Don't miss the subway experience. We paid for each ride. We didn't consider daily passes a good deal. Too many different lines.
8. We loved the hotel's high tech toilets. Goodbye to toilet paper. Would love to have one in my house. Even Mc Donalds have these.
9. We would love to return, but the long plane ride from Dayton Ohio was very exhausting. Tokyo is much less expensive than Europe. It is a value destination, where the savings on hotels and food, pays the extra plane fare. Unlike Europe, you can enjoy wonderful dining without breaking the budget.

We stayed for 3 nights in the older rooms at the beginning of a trip and 2 nights in an upgraded room. Very quiet, good location, Starbucks
round the corner if you want a cheaper coffee AND an ATM at the post office round the corner that changes money for foreigners. Good location also for the subway, and to Ginza.

Helpful staff.

The upgraded room we stayed in had THE most comfortable twin beds.

I think once the hotel is fully renovated there will be a price hike which may well put it beyond our budget for future trips

People who travel in Tokyo will not expected too much while they stay. A fully eqipped hotel for business travelling while no problem for foreign people just like me.

Staff speak well English and airport bus just right in front of the hotel. Shopping ... definitely a very good location for staying as it is just 5 minutes walk

If I want to pick, may be a small bathroom, but remember you are in Tokyo.

I recommend to stay in this good hotel,

We stayed here for 6 nights in the end - 3 at the beginning of the trip and 3 at the end. We got a non-renovated room to begin with, which was average, then a renovated room at the end (but this costs more, particularly if you want a double bed), which was very nice and made the stay more comfortable. It's very convenient for the metro and we got from the airport to the hotel via trains no problem. Two minute walk to metro station. Breakfast is a bit poor, best to go across the road to Dennys (before 11am) and have a full breakfast and pancakes for a fraction of the hotel price. Very good for sightseeing and shopping. The airport bus leaves directly outside the hotel to take you to the airport for your return journey home. Would recommend it.
