Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
The location was convenient for walking out and immediately having options. Close to transportation as well. The beds and pillows are pretty terrible though. I slept poorly and there was a stuffiness to the room as well. AC helped a little bit, but I got really congested and triggered by something ...

Shinjuku Washington Hotel Main
Room was pretty small for 3 people and the hotel seemed to be older. It worked for our trip but I expected more for the price.

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel
This was a very luxurious property, with excellent amenities. Loved the Family Mart attached to it. Rooms were big and comfortable. Staff was kind and helped as much as they could. While breakfast is pricey, it’s extremely worth it. Best breakfast food I had in Tokyo.
