Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
The room is small but decent. The bathroom was very nice. There is considerable noise from the street and nearby billboards. The terrace to the Godzilla head is closed. Laundry was cheap but the dryers needed two cycles and clothes were still slightly damp.

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.
