APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
Overall it was exactly as expected and advertised, breakfast was a little on the pricy side, but came with a view. Would stay again. This was our first stay at a APA hotel and for a self checkin/checkout property the staff was super helpful/accommodating to everything.
