Nice Hotel, not a Great Location

I stayed in the Crowne Plaza hotel on my first trip to Tokyo in March 2008. This is a very nice hotel with all the great trappings of a 4 star hotel - clean, stylish and helpful staff.
What's hot:
Cleanliness - Common areas, room, bathroom were all very nicely mantained
Toilet - High tech!
Public transport - Very close to the busy Ikebukuro station
What's not:
Location - The hotel is in Ikebukuro district. While not too far from Shinjuku, it is still $20 to get back by taxi after a night out. If you are in Tokyo for tourist purposes, I would recommend Shinjuku or Roppongi dsitricts.
Overall I recommend this hotel, but unless there was a reason to be in Ikebukuro, I will stay in Shinjuku next time.

Pros:
Clean and updated room and bathroom
Helpful staff
Close to public transportation and shopping
Lots of eateries close by
Con:
Very close to Ikebokur station, but for a tourist I think the Shinjuku and Roppongi are better places to be based out of

Loved the hotel. Updated rooms that are very clean and reasonably spacious. Bathroom comes with one of them 'high-tech' japanese toilets. Lots of eateries around.
The hotel is very close to Ikebokuru station which is a major hub. But I feel that Shinjuku and Roppongi Hills are better locations for tourists to be based out of.

The Crowne Plaza Metropolitan Hotel is in a great spot. It is right by the Ikebukuro Station which is on the Yamanote line. It is not far from Sunshine City and other touristy places. Also, there are places to eat within walking distance. The service was fantastic - so polite and accomodating. Although the rooms were tiny, I would definitely return.

It was a nice hotel, but you had to take the subway to more shopping. The room was real nice and had a good view of the area. It was a really close walk to the subway station and some bars and restaurants.
