It is likely big since it was likely a regular Club lounge before. But they are trying to get around the rules and charge extra for the lounge. This is not a resort. Ambassador’s should not get in either – as this appears they are getting around Marriott standard access rules. A hotel I will be sure to AVOID. Plan to be in Osaka next year.
[I suspect that knowing you can steer a bunch of first class/pullman passengers to a luxury hotel helps stabilize the bottom line.]
Prince Gallery Kioicho removed their lounge access entirely based on status, and only gives access based on room categories.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
