This hotel was the cheapest available with our air/hotel package on Expedia. We were more concerned with price than star ratings, so anything would have been fine. The being said, this hotel was way above-average, especially for the price. As soon as you pull up to the hotel you really get a feel for Japanese hospitality. Everyone is bowing and saying "Welcome to the Prince Park Tower," and they even pull your chair out for you while you await check-in. We had an extra person in a deluxe twin room, and after getting to the room the doorbell rings and 3 or 4 super-polite staff enter and begin making the third bed. They even brought an extra set of toiletries, towels, and china for the tea.
The room was fairly spacious especially compared to the other hotels we stayed in on our trip. The balcony was great, and the room was impeccably stocked. There is even a jetted tub and washlet (Japanese electro-bidet, haha). You can also have a staffmember come up to your room and give you a "pillow consultation," where you select your favorite pillow. In the evening, there is turndown service as well.
During the day they have kimono-clad women stationed outside the elevator and they bow and push the call button. Because we were sort of backpacking, we kind of felt underdressed at times, but we weren't treated any different than the business-suit clad types.
Yes, the fitness center/pool are for those 25+, but we didn't really come to Tokyo to do any of that anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. Besides, Japan has onsen! which are better than a big chlorinated pool any day in my book.
I've checked recently and this hotel is still one of the cheapest available on hotels.com and expedia, which is still a huge surprise.
