Thanks josh for reviewing , everytime i will stay therr while I travel to osaka

[@felixmustelier77]

does it ever smell like cigarette smoke? Sometimes older hotels have that smell and the smell of older

[@ryanmatthew511]

How is 2013 on the older side? Seriously?

[@gogotravelwithjosh]

Marriott has brand standards that properties need to be renovated approximately ever 10 years. So when a hotel gets close to that mark they consider that to be outdated and have property do refresh. I prefer to always stay at new or recently renovated properties and this one for me was on the older side as it has not had a renovation since it’s opening about 13 years ago.

[@ryanmatthew511]

They are probably perfect value for that location. There is not a large luxury market. If they renovate they could price themselves out of the market. Conrad is only a few dollars more but it’s in a worse (for Dotonburi) location. So given the price and the current conditions and the area. Its new.

Great video! Do they offer free breakfast for Platinum, Titanium, or Ambassador members?

[@gogotravelwithjosh]

Thank you! Yes, at all St. Regis property’s Platinum and higher members can select free breakfast for 2 as a welcome gift.

Did you mention anywhere at all in your review the bed and sleeping experience? Also, do you believe Ritz Carlton beds or St Regis are better for sleeping cool at nights ?

[@gogotravelwithjosh]

I honestly like both Ritz and St. Regis beds. For sleeping I always turn the air on like 67-69 degrees. Helps me sleep the best!

@@gogotravelwithjosh my tempur pedic + duvet comforter make me sweat like crazy I can’t have both. I love my duvet cover tho so have been considering finding a cooler bed 😭

[@gogotravelwithjosh]

Sometimes the duvets are so thick, you might just have to find a thinner one otherwise just cool your room down more. Otherwise I’m not sure
