I agree and know exactly what you mean.
But.. it is coming up at 13,500yen +taxes/fees and gives you 37m2 of space (around 400yen per m2 - rock bottom for Tokyo) and two semi-double beds. A few taxi fares to eradicate those hikes through the barren neighbourhoods surrounding the hotel will be cheap enough and you have near direct access to the river route up to Asakusa.
Since there are three of you it might be still worth considering if you find you have to book a two or three night stay in the capital.
