The staff at the Omori Tokyu Inn were helpful and polite, but unless you speak Japanese you will be limited in your discussions with them.

Location:
90%
The Omori Tokyu Inn has a great location located directly inside a subway station that is two stops away from one of Tokyo's biggest transport hubs, Shinagawa Station. This makes a transfer to Haneda Airport very easy. Around the hotel are a couple restaurants and bars. If you are planning on spending a bunch of time in Tokyo, you may want a more central location.

Any Character?:
75%
The Omori Tokyu Inn had a par level amount of character. The rooms had a decent amount of flare to them thanks to the furnishings. The hotel itself had a bit, but looked like most mid-range hotels that are in its price range.

How Fun was it?:
80%
The Omori Tokyu Inn wasn't a super fun place, but it did have some things to entertain you. The best part is the location. You are right inside a subway station so getting to other locations to have a drink in Tokyo would be very easy. Inside the hotel there are some common rooms to hangout in, a restaurant, a bar and they also have a TV in room with a couple channels which you can pay a small fee to watch pay channels all day as well as free Wi-Fi.

Value for your Money:
85%
Considering the price of accommodation in Tokyo, one of the most expensive cities in the world, and the great location, the Omori Tokyu Inn is actually a decent value with all its amenities and how nice the rooms are. Many other hotels in the area were much more expensive.

The A/C in my room barely worked. Thankfully it wasn't a hot day when I was there otherwise I might have been in trouble.

Final Thoughts:
The Omori Tokyu Inn is a great place to stay at if your number one concern is to get to Haneda airport easily. Besides that, the rooms are nice at a reasonable price making it a possible base of operations for a stay in Tokyo if you don't mind the somewhat high price and un-central location.

Would I Stay There Again?:
Yes, but only if I was going to Haneda Airport, otherwise I would pick a more budget option located more centrally in Tokyo.
