I looked at this hotel a while ago but it seemed far away from Roppongi, more like 2 miles from Roppongi station rather than 200 yards.
Is there a lot going on in the vicinity of the Tokyo Prince, and is the hotel itself decent? Would it also be a good option for transport options?

The hotel is a solid 3 star establishment, and is within walking distance of the Tokyo Tower, Zojoji Temple, Shiba Park, and Hamamatsucho Station on the JR line. But to be honest, if it seems that the walk from here to Roppongi is too far, then it is probably not the place for you.

I would love to stay at the RC/GH/IC on a different trip, but this one is really going to be about using the hotel just for crashing the night. If there is a nice gym or pool I won't even have the chance to give it a go this time around.
Anything else close to the action in Roppongi worth recommending in the 3-4 star range? Tokyo Prince is a backup plan I guess, but I'd prefer something closer to where it's all happenin'...

Any reason why the Ibis site is not showing the Roppongi hotel at all, and only displays the Shinjuku one?

Thanks, that explains it. 
Any thoughts on the Roppongi Hotel S (looks quite nice, plus free internet and breakfast) or the Hotel Villa Fontaine?

Any ways to get special rates at the ANA Intercontinental, or is their website pretty much guaranteed to have the best rate out there?
Does 66k Yen sound ok for this hotel? Does anyone stay there often - is it a decent choice for someone who wants to stay in Roppongi?
