One of my favorite hotels and one contracted with the U.S. Navy for incoming officers to stay until adequate BOQ or OFFICER HOUSING was arranged. It also served the same purpose for senior enlisted men and their families. As pertaining to women of commissioned officer status and the policy the Navy had with the New Grand, I am not certain. At one time, Japan had a unique policy about unescorted Western females who were seeking single status lodging in Japan.
