Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo
This was an excellent hotel. Everything we wanted out of a hotel. I liked it was in a quieter section of Tokyo. It was walking distance to some attractions and the train station was close.

Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince Hotel
Staff was great, room was spotless and the breakfast was incredible. They push the free members club pretty hard on check-in, but you get 2 free drinks at the restaurant or bar, so I can't complain too much.
