Comfy beds, and easy walk to Shinjuku Station to access all trains. Great bathroom setup. Easy luggage storage option. Pro-tip: have a Japanese craft gin in the lobby while doing a load of laundry mid trip! Difficult to find coming from station on arrival, but the neighborhood is super easy to navigate ...

APA Hotel & Resort Ryogoku Ekimae Tower
Internet was adequate, we did not have a vehicle. Room was clean, not much room for items in the bathroom. I know rooms are small, but really not enough room to put items on a shelf.
