I did see good rates for Mitsui Garden and Monterey Ginza.
Ta, will take a look.

One of the best deals for room acreage was actually the IC Tokyo Bay. It was showing up at close to your budget figure on Expedia and it's also one of the hotels on priceline (or has been historically) and if you book it this way there is no extra adult fee. I'm sure you already know about the large twin rooms with two (very) small double beds.
We stayed here two years ago, lured in by a very good Web rate over Xmas (when most hotels like to jack up prices), but were kinda "meh". The hotel itself is fine, if unremarkable, but the location in the middle of absolutely nothing a few Yurikamome stops out from Shinbashi is pretty bad; the closest thing to civilization is exciting Hamamatsucho, and even that's a fair hike away.
