Wow - we stayed here with our two kids and loved it. We had one of the family rooms facing the park on the 5th floor and could see the bullet trains from our beautiful balcony. We loved sitting up there or on the roof deck to watch all the activities in the park. The delicious coffee and afternoon drinks/snacks were lovely. We didn't do breakfast at the hotel as we were usually up and going early, but it looked delicious. A wonderful place to stay!
