I was attending a wedding at the Disney Ambassador Hotel. I wanted to be near the wedding venue, but didn't need/ want to spend large amounts for a Disney/ partner hotel. Having stayed at MyStays previously I wanted to stay again, as it is generally a reasonable price, and the rooms are good.
However...
I knew the wedding date 9 months in advance, but learnt that I could only book the hotel 6 months in advance. On the 6 months date I attempted booking (via the website) however they said for this hotel it was 3 months in advance. At 3 months I tried again, and initially it said rooms were already booked. I tried again, and all rooms were available. Minimum rate was 20,000yen for a twin room. (I expected and the website infers that the usual rate is half this. OK, I know the booking was for when Disney Christmas had recently begun, but I have since noticed that Saturday nights closer to xmas are cheaper rates).
The hotel itself is standard. Not too far a walk from the Disney Resort. Nothing around the hotel at all, Disney car parking across the road; convenience store 5min walk away.
The room was standard basic. Nothing special at all, and, for me, a let down. Considering the price I would have preferred to stay at the MyStays in Asakusa-bashi... the rooms there were much much nicer, and the price was much, much cheaper! It would have been worth the 35-45 mins train travel from Disney.
Again, considering the price, it turns out I could have stayed at a Disney partner hotel for only a little more cost!
Sadly the hotel was a let down after the beauty and excitement of the wedding. I have learnt in future to just pay that little extra for a partner hotel, or else stay back in Tokyo city.
FYI I had been mailing before I arrived, as my check in times changed and I had questions whether there were shuttles from the JR Maihama Station etc. The staff replied promptly in good english and were very helpful.
They also realised that while I wanted a non-smoking room I'd actually booked a smoking room, and they changed it for me without question. **That is an important note if you are booking through their website. They informed me that unless it states 'non-smoking' the rooms are 'smoking'!!
Room Tip: High floor, and try for room 01 (eg 701)... it is on the corner closest to Disney, and you could see...
