Kyoto has too much loud music at night
I have stayed at Kyoto many times and like the staff. The rooms are less than average. My last stay was terrible. Loud music from the courtyard (their "Japanese Garden") for a buffet they hosted went from late afternoon well into the night. I tried to turn the TV volume to overcome the noise but no luck. It was just too loud. This hotel is about to be branded as a Hilton Doubletree. When I complained about the loud music the front desk said that the new management group was having a party and the music would go well into the night. They helped with giving me a different room. I contaced the general manager, Joseph Kuhn, with a voice mail and it's been several days without a reply. I highly recommend to avoid this hotel unless you are one of the new management group.
