Rough Guide "Its rooms are far from Tokyo's grandest, but there are Art Deco touches and a friendly welcome - and oxygen and supposedly refreshing negative ions are pumped around the premises."
Frommer's "This is a delightfully old-fashioned, unpretentious (some might say dowdy) hotel with character." Full review

Avoid the cheaper, more boring rooms in the 1954 annex.

Assuming you can find it, be sure to have a drink or meal at the 39th-floor Top of Shinagawa; its views of Tokyo Bay and the city are among the best in town.
Fodor's "Just a three-minute walk from JR Shinagawa Station, the Prince is a sprawling complex that's part hotel (with four towers) and part entertainment village." Full review
Star Service "Because of its proximity to Shinkansen and commuter lines, it's popular with midrange business travelers during the week. A wide range of entertainment diversions bring family vacationers on weekends." Full review
Lonely Planet "Set in a large entertainment complex in front of Shinagawa Station, the Prince has thousands of rooms housed in several towers, though singles are cramped." Full review
