Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka
Our first room was awful and depressing with nowhere to put our clothes and luggage. But they moved us to a new room(for a fee which was justified) and it was wonderful. We even had two bathrooms! The area is so fun too! Would go back again.

I stayed three nights, and my experience was wonderful! I booked a room with a city view, and it was so pretty! The room was clean and roomier than some of the other hotels I booked while in Japan. I have no complaints :) Safe travels!
