Absolutely a superb experience here. The room was stunning and the food top notch. There is clearly so much care and attention here. It was lovely to be able to attend the morning ceremony as well. Highly recommend it. I'll be coming back for sure.

Great area if you want to stay before going to KIX. One stop to Rinku Premium Outlets. The room above is a bit noisy around midnight. Dryer is a hazard because of the improper support. We only stayed for one night though.

Streets had more traffic than I expected. Lots of tour buses and quite a few noisy sport motorbikes killed the ambience in a few areas.
