Thread: Heading to KIX tomorrow, God willing and the creek don't rise!

That hotel looks quite nice. Where did you eat? What kind of price did you get? Did you go thru the hotel directly or via UTel res system? I'm considering spending one nt to meet Boss in March. His layover is Hilton and I don't think I have enough HH points How was your weather? Do tell, please!

There's so many places right around the hotel, as well as in the hotel complex itself. I had fish n'chips at The Hub, a British pub-type place. Decent. I had some unknown food at another Japanese restaurant on the 2nd floor (below the hotel lobby on the 3rd). They did not have an English translation of their menu, so I ordered what I thought looked good lol!

Weather was on the chilly side, reminded me a lot of SFO weather. 50 during the day, upper 30's at night. Rained my last day there, so that killed a day. My return flight left at 1820. The hotel will store luggage for you, no probs. They offered to do it for me, but since it was raining, I said screw it and spent 5 hours in the airport

Front desk folks were very friendly, and one lady took a lot of time helping me pick an agenda for one day's sightseeing in Kyoto. I highly recommend it, if you can get by with no internet, or wired internet. I booked thru Hotels.com, price was 326.54 for 2 nights. Maybe a little pricey tho, but I considered it well worth it. I'll take my laptop next time, but I WILL stay there again!

We have one and haven't used it yet. I've dragged it to South Africa and Asia. So far, we've had all wireless, however in some places, wifi is the pits.
Thanks for the detailed transport info--that's super. I'll always know where to find it!
