OT but also had a night at HI Tokyo Bay and enjoyed.
While not as recently renovated, my personal preference is still the IC Strings. It feels like the more polished operation to me, albeit very strictly by the book with regards to upgrade and such (as is common in Japan).
Just something for consideration, IC Strings has 193 keys and the ANA IC has 844 keys, Club rooms alone the ANA IC has the same number of keys (rooms) at 193 as the IC Strings has in total. So ANA IC is a way busier hotel if that matters.
