Takaishi Packages (Flight + Hotel)

Clean hotel, maybe a tad noisy but that was only other guests and at no fault of the hotel. Best bread of any hotel I’ve ever been too!

The room was comfortable, well-appointed, and surprisingly spacious for Namba. The air conditioning and television were also very easy to use, which is a welcome touch for non-Japanese-speaking travellers, as hotel room controls in Japan can sometimes be difficult to navigate, even with AI translation tools. What let the hotel down, however, was the breakfast experience. There were lengthy queues each morning simply to be seated, as only one hostess was managing the process. Most guests do not want to begin their day by waiting in line for up to 15 minutes, particularly when there are plenty of vacant tables available in a large dining area. It seemed unnecessary for guests to have to wait to be formally seated. Once inside, there was further congestion due to there being only one coffee machine and one toaster, resulting in even more queuing in what is clearly a very busy hotel. Overall, the room itself was excellent, but the breakfast operation would benefit from some improvements to better accommodate the number of guests.

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Monterey in Japan. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Everything felt organized and spotless, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was excellent. The only downside was finding the entrance to the parking area. The logistics and access were somewhat confusing at first and could benefit from clearer signage. Once we located it, everything went smoothly. Overall, this was a fantastic stay with excellent accommodations, and I would gladly return on a future trip to Japan. Highly recommended for anyone looking for clean, comfortable rooms and great service.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Universal Port. It was about a 5 minute walk from the train station and right next to City Walk. You could see Universal Studios from our window! Plus our room had an amazing view of the water. The room was super spacious and very clean. We added the breakfast buffet option onto our stay and it was well worth it! The buffet was very nice and delicious with tons of options. I highly recommend doing that. The only negative thing I can think of is their washer/dryer situation. There was a HUGE line to use their coin-operated washer and dryers. Not only that, but the machines have locks on them so if someone doesn't come get their laundry, that dryer or washer stays locked for good until they returned. Because of this, about 4 or 5 washers & dryers were locked, not being used for 3-4 hours. Besides that, everything was amazing. I loved the Minion theme of the lobby as well, it got us super excited for our day at Universal! If we ever go back, we will 100% stay here again!!

Nice place and convenience
