Hotel Hokke Club Fukuoka
Did not meet high ratings for this hotel. Small room, no complimentary coffee. Could not use free lounge until 2pm

Grand Hyatt Fukuoka
The staff were very friendly and professional. The property itself is very tired and in need of a full refurbishment if it is to really be a 5 star hotel. Feels like nothing has been updated in more than 20 years and its quite dark.
