To stay in Marriott hotels in Japan, I'd suggestion not to stay in Tokyo. Instead, look at Yokohama (assuming you had a car/ or not), cheaper and more convenient. If you want to go to visit Tokyo, then use trains.
Marriott had added many new properties in small cities (yet close to bigger ones). I'd be looking at them if I had a car.

Near Christmas time, all cities are very festive.
Won't have the car when staying in Tokyo. The primary purpose of the car is to travel from Tokyo to Kyoto & back.

Having said that, I am not opposed to staying in Yokohama if it would be easy getting to Tokyo using public transport.
