some rooms have space with proper desks&chairs, while some are more basic. ~60-120usd/night

Really depends on what neighbourhood you want? Or are you looking to try different areas every time? Tokyo's public transit/trains are pretty good and widespread
The washer/dryer combo is interesting, usually a pain to either handwash or go find a coinwash. The Moxy does have a washer/dryer room, which was super useful when I stayed there in 2020. Thanks for the recommendation.
I'm agnostic to neighborhood, more interested closeness to train stations on good lines access, like Yamanote, or the Tokyo Metro, and nearby food/entertainment. I'm well-versed in using Tokyo's public transportation but being at the Hyatt Regency or Park Hyatt for example, it's a 15-minute walk to Shinjuku station, which can be a pain (especially during the summer), and I hear the shuttle has been decommissioned anyway and being in a business neighborhood, there's not really much to do without trecking to the station or the areas around it like Kabukicho. And there's a smaller subway station a bit closer (Nishi-Shinjuku-Gochome Station), but it adds some transfers to really get anywhere. The Moxy is a couple minute walk from the Chuo-Sobu line, but it's still pricy for long stays ($160+/ni).
That said, this thread isn't meant to be specific to me, but a place where people can post hotels that aren't standard to FT for future reference for others in my situation, so feel free to post any recommendations you have. There are thousands of hotels around, and I don't really trust reviews, so personal experiences on the less common hotels from FTers who have stayed at them would be useful info imho.
