Two weekend nights in West Shinjuku
- Breakfast
- No upgrade
- $250 credit posted
Their take: A pleasant room and good service, but the walk to the station and the hard-to-spend credit wore on them, and they felt the price was too high. They suggest a weekday stay.
Details
- Paid
- $500 cash plus 66,000 points at 1.65x with Points Boost; the cash price would have been $1,594.57
- Points
- The $250 Select Hotel credit posted along with the $250 Edit credit
- Upgrade
- None; they got the room type they booked, on one of the lower floors, even with IHG status activated
- Breakfast
- Included, but the Washoku Japanese breakfast is only offered on weekdays, so a weekend stay misses it
- $100 credit
- Food and drink only (in-room massages excluded); with the bar shutting around 11 PM, they never used the full amount
- At checkout
- One breakfast that should have been included was charged to the room
- Watch out
- Weekend weddings take over the top 2 floors and crowd the bar and cafe; Shinjuku Station is about a 15-minute walk, or roughly $9 by Uber
