Although it is a 5-star hotel, this hotel can be enjoyed by everyone: sometimes you could find double rooms from 20,000 yen per night, which is not a really cheap price but it isn't expensive neither considering the level of the hotel, a very reasonable price to have an unforgettable night in Nagoya.
