Hotel Metropolitan Edmont Tokyo
Clean room though very small. A queen bed is more like a double bed for North American standards, and the AC did not work well, which made the sleep difficult. The hotel is not central unless youre just going for the baseball stadium.

APA HOTEL Roppongi Six
Clean room and friendly, helpful staff. Train stations are about 12-15 minutes walk away. There is a nearby 7 eleven, which is useful for getting basic necessities and cash from the ATM.
