I
have
always
wanted
to
try
Intercontinental
Yokohama.
Finally
did
and
was
underwhelmed.
It's
the
closest
hotel
to
a
western
hotel.
Giant
rooms,
giant
hallways,
beautiful
lobby
(and
building
in
general),
felt
like
a
Las
Vegas
hotel.
Even
a
mini
bar.
Get
the
room
with
a
view
of
the
ferris
wheel
if
you
must
stay
here.
You
can
sit
at
the
window
sill
and
watch
the
view
all
night.
Keep
in
mind
all
rooms
are
looking
at
the
ferris
wheel
from
the
side.
Location
is
bad.
Intercontinental
Yokohama
is
far
away
from
everything.
Almost
all
hotels
are
surrounded
by
restaurants
and
combinis,
but
at
IHG
Yokohama,
you
are
stuck
with
the
restaurants
they
provide
which
are
relatively
pricey.
There
are
combinis
(daily
yamazaki/7-eleven),
but
you
have
to
walk
across
the
street.
Service
is
bad.
I
was
surprised
how
cold
this
hotel
was.
Even
a
cheap
business
hotel
in
Japan
would
greet
you
when
you
walk
in
and
out.
The
hotel
next
to
it,
Tokyu
Bay
Hotel
offered
to
take
my
luggage
to
my
room
and
even
came
to
the
elevator
door
when
I
was
checking
out.
I
don't
think
I
received
a
single
greeting
from
anyone
at
IHG.
My
"toraberu
waribiki"
didn't
work
here
and
I
asked
why
and
they
told
me
"the
government
said
it
starts
on
the
11th,
but
our
hotel
isn't
equipped
to
handle
it"
...
??
There
was
someone
blasting
music
outside
so
we
called
the
front
desk
and
guess
what...
no
one
picked
up.
Pretty
rare
(or
it
has
never
happened)
for
no
one
to
pickup
the
phone
in
Japan.
I
tried
to
sign
up
for
the
IHG
credit
card
before
booking.
IHG
was
apparently
hacked
a
few
weeks
ago
so
Chase
stopped
taking
applications
for
IHG
cards.
IHG
keeps
telling
me
to
talk
to
Chase
why
I
can't
apply
and
Chase
is
saying
to
talk
to
IHG.
I'm
glad
I
didn't
sign
up
for
theit
card.
Stayed
at
all
3
major
hotels
at
the
Minato
Mirai
station.
IHG,
Tokyu
Bay
and
Royal
Park.
Royal
Park
Sky
Resort
room
was
the
best.
The
service
(one
time
I
asked
them
to
clean
my
room
while
I'm
out
for
lunch
and
the
maid
ran
to
my
room
at
12pm
to
get
it
done
on
time!),
view
(so
high
up),
location
(go
downstairs
for
TONS
of
food
selections,
literally
just
down
the
elevator).
They
also
have
a
shuttle
from
Haneda
to
Royal
Park
just
like
IHG.
Don't
do
IHG.
It's
only
priced
high
for
all
the
people
that
go
to
the
convention
there.
If
you
can't
do
Royal
Park
Sky
Resort,
Tokyu
Bay
has
good
value
too.
