Rooms are Tiny
Tokyo is a crowded city so these rooms may be standard in size but for the average Western traveler, these rooms run very small.
negative:
No Parking Available
The hotel is centrally located and there is no parking available at the hotel even for a fee. It is best to not drive as there is a metro just 500 feet away and also you can get to the airport via taxi in less than 15 minutes.
negative:
Breakfast Not Included
Breakfast is not included so you pay an extra fee. It is served at the hotel's own coffee bar, Ueshima Coffee Shop, which offers great coffee. You could also eat at a nearby bar or restaurant as there are so many within a few feet of the hotel, as well as a grocery store.
