The interior design and decor has a minimalist app...

The interior design and decor has a minimalist approach; understated but having richness. This is our preference and provides an soothing and relaxing environment for us. One element we REALLY appreciated (and miss about Japan); the toilet was not next to the shower/tub. It was in its own room. It was also a typical bidet-style toilet commonly found in Japan.

The room was equipped with convenient gadgets; its own password protected wifi, a HUGE 84" 4K Smart TV, a device to easily cast content from your own device to the TV, lights that automatically turn on/off, an Amazon Echo and maybe a few others.

It was comforting, given the current COVID-19 pandemic, the hotel had measures in place to keep guests as safe as they practically could. There was a device at the entrance that detected a person's temperature, everyone was required to wear masks, they allow 2 days been room occupancy and tables spread wide apart in the restaurant.

There was 1 minor disappointment and one that bewildered me. The minor; there was the lack of electrical outlets, particularly near the bed. Due to travel experience, I had extension cords.

The bewildering disappointment was the "disappearing staff trick". I called for additional shampoo and conditioner but got no answer. I called the front desk, housekeeping and another (forgot the third). I finally gave up. Also, when we were leaving, I drove curb-side to load suitcases but was unable to get back inside the hotel (my wife and son had the card keys). I rang the door bell several times for assistance but no one answered or came to the door. There was no staff anywhere I could flag down to open the door. I had to call my wife to come down and let me in.

Assuming the staff disappearance was an anomaly, I would still recommend this hotel. It's very handsome within and offers a very relaxing and high-tech environment.
