Like the location of the hotel as this was close to the Makuhari messe and had a connecting walkway which worked well for us.

Very short to Makuhari Fair

What could be improved: It is far away from Tokio

Great room that were generously sized, especially the bed.

What could be improved: The pool is a separate cost which i expected. However the sheer number of additional costs was baffling when the accommodation costs are considered.

Wonderful selection of breakfast, mix of Japanese, other Asian and Western. Good spread and very good service.
Rooms are well-appointed and sea views are amazing.

What could be improved: Perhaps housekeeping was a little too eager to get us out of the room when we got up a bit late from bed, but their service was exceptional.

nice service, clean and comfortable.

What could be improved: It would be better to have a USB port.

I had an exhibition to attend in the Makuhari Messe. This hotel has a walking bridge (covered!) directly to that venue, so that was a no-brainer. My coworkers and business relations stayed in hotels next door or behind (APA, Francs). The New Otani is not only closer but it is more quiet than the APA and has far better facilities than Francs.

I had an exhibition to attend in the Makuhari Messe. This hotel has a walking bridge (covered!) directly to that venue, so that was a no-brainer. My coworkers and business relations stayed in hotels next door or behind (APA, Francs). The New Otani is not only closer but it is more quiet than the APA and has far better facilities than Francs. The breakfast is amazing, the service is great, the halls and the restaurant are spacey and beautiful. Room was super quiet, I stayed at the 10th floor and had a view on Makuhari, the ocean and Mount Fuji.

What could be improved: A separate shower inbstead of a bathtub with a shower would have been nice. Nothing special.

Breakfast was eclectic and plentiful.
Location great for the Makuhari messe, with simple walking access to the station and many local dining establishments, bars and shops. Hotel bus to and from both airports is convenient and cheap.
Rooms a good size and of high quality.

What could be improved: Dining facilities excellent, but quite expensive. Breakfast not always of the highest quality.
Upstairs bar high quality, but expensive and a little soulless.
Don't forget the scale of Tpkyo; it's a fair distance to the city, with frequent standing on the train, or an expensive taxi ride.
Airport bus schedule is limited.

What could be improved: interior is a bit dated, beds and pillows could use a refresh—they were fine but not up to modern expectations. In-room amenities were not as expected, notably missing water although there were vending machines on the second floor. Room service was clearly designed to discourage use

The staff was excellent. The room was beautiful. The View was exquisite. The Internet was insanely fast. I needed to drop off my luggage as soon as I got there and they gave me the application for the check-in. When I got there, they'd already taken the luggage to the room as you'd expect from a 5 star hotel. Being connected to the Makuhari Convention Center made it very convenient to get to and from the event I went to.

What could be improved: Really nothing I didn't like. I guess the only very small complaint was the age of the bidet since I'd used much newer ones since I'd come to Japan. But even that is a tiny complaint.

Breakfast was more than adequate and very enjoyable.
Location is easy to find and has nice views out the windows.

What could be improved: Nothing stood out as lacking during my stay.
