Clean Gem
Well, when I arrived to the hotel, I didn't expect much especially after being spoil from quality service receive while in Southeast Asia. This hotel was easy to find. Checking in was smooth. Felt welcomed (or as welcomed as a Japanese reservationist) can make you feel in a very reserved manner.
Though I consider the place sort of Spartan in it's interior design, every thing that they had fit as if it belonged exactly where it was. All the furniture was modern with quality tapestry with metallic subtle presence.
Seem a bit cool. But, then, the Bellmen stepped in to sweep up my luggage. They do what they do because it is their job. In the USA, our Bellmen jump for your luggage because their trying to generate a maximum number of tips during their shift. The Japanese Bellmen were not phased and actually turned down tips at time. Of course, I pressed them to take it which later I learned that this probably isn't the thing to do. The room had just the right amount of furniture. Though small, it had a feeling of roominess. Loved the low beds. I slept like a baby especially after a little partying around the town.
At the Hilton- Osaka, you have city view. Really lights up at night.
Loved the breakfast. All the seafood. This was my "FIRST SEAFOOD" breakfast. While at breakfast, I ended up meeting a set of musical entertainers from New York. A gospel group. They we very welcoming too. Great to see my "pepps" traveling beyond the USA borders. They shared with me how the Japanese people appreciated American music (which did include our religious music).
Loved the hotel's location to the back street small shops, neighborhood bars, and subway.
