Hotel Gracery Shinjuku
Room was new and clean. I watched a movie in the same building toho Shinjuku. Convenient to JR yet price is reasonable. I would stay again. Cons: TV has no Netflix or YouTube app. The area is a little chaotic but there is a lot of food choices.

The rooms were a bit tight but to be expected! We have some of the best memories in this area of our trip. ...
