Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
Great hotel in a prime location. Lots of activities and good restaurants. Obviously rooms were on the small side but that is to be expected from the hotels in Tokyo. However, the bathrooms and tubs were awesome! Loved soaking in the tub after a long day of walking. Staff was very quick to address ...
