The location is perfect, right across from Yokohama station, easily accessible underground from the station. It worked great for the business meeting I had arranged. The lobby cafe was fine, but somewhat noisy. Japanese restaurant in the hotel was fantastic and a treat for clients.
Hotel room was small, normal for Japan but not so for a Sheraton. Hectic, busy lobby and staff was not helpful. Took forever to retrieve our luggage that had been shipped ahead. Every small service cost extra. They even charged an extra hotel service fee to set up a takkyubin package, on top of the shipping fee.
Specifically requested a non-smoking room well in advance, but the first room they gave us was obviously not so, even still had the ashtrays. Front desk staff were not at all understanding about medical condition that would not tolerate a smoking room, they advertise non-smoking floors, I specifically requested it, and it was still a very difficult situation for the front desk staff to handle. I've dealt with the non-smoking room issue in Japan for 18 years, but this hotel was the most difficult to manage.
So, if the smoking room issue is not a problem for you, enjoy this hotel! I'll continue to use it for meetings, but will not stay here again.
