Very close to Shinagawa station makes this a great location, although the uphill hike is a bit of surprise if you have heavy luggage. Nice and clean room, although the bathroom shows a bit its age. The western style breakfast beats any breakfast buffet at a moderately priced US hotel, but based on nearly annual trips to Japan for more than 20 years, I would rank breakfast at this hotel rather low compared to breakfast at other hotels in Japan. Especially the quality of the croissants and buns was pretty low, which is a bit surprising in a country that has outstanding bakeries. Also, I love the sliced bread that they sell in Japanese supermarkets for toasting, but there was no sliced bread at all.
