We will stay overnight in Tokyo on our way from the US to Myanmar. (Also stay overnight in Kuala Lumpur--obviously the slow way to go--but hey--that's what you get with award tickets). Anyone recommend a hotel with bus service to the Narita airport that is not too high-priced but clean? Would love to hear your suggestions!

There is a Holiday Inn very near the airport with bus service.
There are 2 or 3 different buses that make a loop to all the airport hotels so that is not a problem. I have stayed at another one (less American, more Japanese) but don't remember the name. Other familiar brand names are on the bus loops - all in Narita. Very convenient.

The Hilton at Narita is reasonably priced and nice, nice big indoor pool there too.

Thanks, emd3 and wintersp!!! I will check them both out. I also looked at a Richmond Hotel Narita--anyone know about it? I'm hoping to reserve a room tomorrow for January 25.

patty, have you seen this page?

Aloha!

No, hawaiiantraveler--I had not even heard of this page. Great link! Gives me some good ideas and hope to read up and book a hotel by tonight. THANKS!

Thanks for all your help. Finally got confirmation at a hotel in Narita: Narita Kikusui. Yeah! Hope it's okay.

I really recommend you go visit the temple(s) in Narita when you're there, there is a cute shopping street leading up to them, the area itself is very pretty, and it can be a very relaxing couple of hours!

Thank you Niomi. We'll be sure to do that! We should have time and I hope we can wander around a bit. Can't wait. Thanks for the tip.

BTW, the hotel worked out fine, with shuttle pickup. Maybe a 2 1/2 star hotel but adequate and clean. Convenient and we could walk to see the temple area that Niomi suggested. Also in Kuala Lumpur, stayed in a great bed and breakfast called Jawadene Inn for only $ 49. Extra cost for airport pick-up. Was a delightful place to stay.
