Often, travelers will groan when they check into a hotel and they get a lower floor. Usually, higher floors are reserved for elite guests (much like upgrades and E+ are usually for elite flyers). In some cities, like New York or Hong Kong, a higher floor is a must because you get a feel for the city. Hong Kong and New York are defined by their skylines so it’s best to able to see them.<\/p>\n

Having a lower floor at the Grand Hyatt Roppongi<\/a>, for example, isn’t the end of the world. In fact, it gives you a sense of having bearings since there’s not really an outstanding icon of Tokyo to focus on. No million dollar skyline or Art Deco canyons here. What Tokyo has is street life. It’s the best city to explore on foot (provided you’ve not twisted your ankle before the trip) and its full of neat things you won’t find riding on the Hato Bus. The hotel is part of the Roppongi Hills<\/a> complex and it serves (along with Tokyo Midtown<\/a>) as an oasis from the silliness that Roppongi is known for.<\/p>\n

The question will arise; how could I stay here on my usual low budget? My stay here was an award night from Hyatt’s Faster Free Nights promotion. During my last stay in LA, I stayed at two Hyatts, thus earning me a free night anywhere there was availability. What’s important is that the service was sublime, the room was comfortable and I had a place to fall flat faced after the 10 hour flight from SFO. Despite being on a “lower floor”.<\/p>\n
