Still just a few minutes' taxi ride from Shinagawa or Shibuya and a quick subway ride from the major business districts.
I stayed at the Osaka version of this hotel, granted on points not paid, but I did enjoy it. It was right above the Osaka-Uehommachi station, which is a stop or two away from the Osaka Namba station, and there was a Lawsons (or 7-11? I can't remember) right next to it. It's also walking distance to Dotonbori and everything else. The hotel was nice, rooms were big, only issue I really had was my suite upgrade that I used confirmed upgrade certificates for wasn't a suite. They just added a chair to it and called it one. Otherwise I'd definitely stay there again.
