Cambria Hotel Madison East

10/10 Excellent
"This was a wonderful choice for my recent trip. I had been in Tokyo for a couple of weeks, helping my son get packed up, and we needed a spot to stay for the last three nights, after he had vacated his apartment. The room was very clean, and the beds were comfortable. The dedk manager was very helpful, friendly, and spoke excellent English. My only suggestion is that it would be nice to have a privacy curtain between the bedroom and the bath area. It would not matter for a married couple, but my son and I needed to work around the shower room set up, because there was no private changing area outside of it."
