"One thing that was very nice was a microwave on the 1st floor if you needed one. The hotel is directly connected to Queens Square, which has many restaurants and stores. Then, right across the street is Mark Is, another terrific shopping mall with many restaurants and stores. And Mark Is is directly connected to Minatomirai Station, where you'll be catching the train most of the time. But if you don't catch the train, you can just take a short 15 minute walk to the heart of Minatomirai, and have fun at Cosmo World, shop at the best shopping building, World Porters, or make your own Cup of Noodles at the Cup Noodle Museum, all within a short walking distance. Also, the hotel rooms are larger than most Japanese hotel rooms, our view from the 14th floor was amazing, and the staff are helpful and cheerful."
"We are always more than happy to stay this hotel. One thing I would let them tell is...
We have stayed this hotel multiple times. We got rides on free hotel shuttle. This time we realized that the last shuttle from hotel to airport departs at 11:30 am. Our flight was at about 10 pm. We would appreciate if the hotel provides more airport bound shuttles in the afternoon."
"Excelente ubicación para los efectos, pues queda cerca de estaciones del tren. Si estas buscando algo cerca de shibuya, este hotel no es para ti, pues en tren queda prácticamente a 1 hora. Excelente trato, hotel hermoso, ubicado en pleno barrio chino. No me volveria a quedar, ya que prefiero un hotel cerca de las areas mas turísticas"
"First time in Japan. Glad to have selected this hotel. We had a beautiful view of Yokohama bay. Great room....bath tub. Fitness room- a little tight but had sufficient equipment. The on site buffet- wonderful."
