The view from my room at
Le Meridien Pacific Tokyo
With corporate discount this place was only about $150. It is right across the street from the Sinigawa subway station that has
no transfer lines to both airports. Has a TGI Friday's restaurant for you American food fix, a cool looking cellar bar,
a top floor bar that dare I say feels similar to the New York Bar at my favorite Park Hyatt.
Japanese hotels all seem to give free internet access as well, as opposed to the $14/day I'm paying here in Honolulu.
Only in Japan- these guys have the job a clearing a safe path in front of the
train that would have a hard time running over a turtle. Compare that to the carts carrying fat people at
American airports- best you get is "EXCUSE THE CART PLEASE"
