excellent stay!
yamato serviceconvenient luggagecomplementary coffeesuperb location
i found several things good! the yamato service allowed convenient luggage transfers. 24-hour availability of complimentary coffee, sake, and water was unexpected. the location was superb with restaurants near gion and nishiki market. breakfast was an amazing experience, which i enjoyed thoroughly.
the ventilation in my room wasn't ideal, but i managed by keeping the door slightly ajar. it was a minor inconvenience during my otherwise fantastic stay.
Location

the free coffee, tea, and water bar was a nice perk.
the air conditioning made noises when turned both on and off. i checked another room and it had the same problem. the staff suggested opening the window at night, but that let in noise and cold air, so i ended up using earplugs.
