Located on the waterfront area of Shinagawa Tennozu Isle, the Dai-Ichi Tokyo Seafort is a good pick for travelers wanting to stay within easy access of Haneda Airport. This upper-middle-range business property occupies the top floors of a skyscraper home to restaurants and shops, and offers great panoramic views. Larger-than-average rooms are simple but comfortable, with solid amenities such as free Wi-Fi, electric kettles, minibars, robes, and big windows, many of which overlook Rainbow Bridge. The rooftop teppanyaki restaurant is a highlight here, with good food and even better vistas, but there are few other amenities on-site. The hotel is connected to a Monorail station and offers easy walking access to other public transport, yet central Tokyo attractions are at least a 30-minute subway ride away. Travelers wanting a pool should consider Sheraton Miyako Hotel Tokyo, though rates are higher.

The Princess Garden Hotel in Tokyo’s residential Meguro District scores points for being quiet, tidy, and easily walkable to transport options, as well as for its charming outdoor garden area. However, guests expecting the full range of features of a mid-range hotel may be disappointed by what is—or isn’t—offered here. Most of the 205 rooms are tiny and dated-looking, with no Wi-Fi. Aside from a lovely Japanese restaurant with a lunch buffet, other amenities—namely, a pool, gym, and business center—are missing, and there are daily fees for parking and breakfast. Guests who want these extras, or closer proximity to Tokyo’s pulsing center, may prefer the Shinjuku district’s Keio Plaza Hotel, though rates will be higher.

A good pick for business travelers, Tokyo Marriott Hotel is an upscale chain hotel 12 minutes' walk from Shinagawa station. The hotel has a breakfast buffet for a fee, a grill, and two formal Japanese restaurants on-site, and there’s a beautiful garden outside with water features. Renovated in 2013, the 249 rooms at the hotel are clean and modern with minibars and a cool palette. Access to an executive lounge with drinks and snacks is available for a fee (included for guests in Executive Rooms). There aren’t many attractions around the hotel, though, so it may not be the best choice for everyone. An alternative could be Royal Park Hotel The Shiodome, an upscale property conveniently located downtown within walking distance of Tsukiji Fish Market and two metro stations.

New Otani Inn is the budget option from the well-known Japanese chain, so this Tokyo outpost is more functional than grandiose, with fewer amenities and decorative frills than original New Otani hotels. Its location in the commercial Shinagawa district just outside the city center makes it ideal for business travelers, and Osaka Station and a mall across the street are appealing for tourists. The 427 guest rooms here are a decent size for Tokyo's standards and have lovely city views and bold style. Breakfast is included in the room rate and room service is offered, but there are hefty fees for in-room Wi-Fi and parking. For atmosphere and amenities in a more vibrant area, Shinjuku Prince Hotel has pricier rates for its central location.
