Fairfield by Marriott Osaka Namba

Good location, good service.  One thing to comment: I was told that Japanese melon is very delicious and sweet, so bought one from a supermarket nearby and took it back to hotel room.  When I was about to eat it, I couldn’t find any knife, fork and plate inside my room so I called the front desk and they sent me two plastic knives and two plastic/foam bowls. I was astonished and called back hoping to get a metal knife and two bone china/ceramic plates. However, I was shocked to note from the staff that due to “SAFETY” issues, only “plastic” tablewares could be offered. Even though I told them I couldn’t use the plastic knife to cut the melon because of the relatively hard skin…..and all they said was NO due to safety issue…… I stayed at 5 hotels in this Japan trip and haven’t heard of this safety issue like this one. There were metal knives and ceramic plates inside rooms at other hotels and why they were not concerned about this “safety issues”??? 😱
