Room was clean and staff was helpful. I was surprised the room did not have complimentary tea or coffee. The parking discount was very helpful. Connection to mall and onsen was convenient. Expedia’s offer to include onsen access at booking was also helpful.

The location is hard to beat: short walk to Shinagawa Station which is a major train hub for Tokyo and all of Japan. The room also had a great view of the station area. Beds were very comfy and the water pressure from the shower was great.
