Options - spoilt for choice - tokyo accom.

I have been staring at pictures of hotel rooms on internet hotel sites for days in a row. Rather, I have been scrutinising the pictures, and reading travellers' reviews posted everywhere. So, finally I was down to the 2 choices below. And this afternoon, 2 days before I fly, I finally booked the hotel room... haha ... the wonders of technology ... allowing for my last minute habits.
Alright .. the multi-million dollar question: Which hotel do you think I have chosen?

Keio Plaza Hotel - One of Tokyo's oldest luxury hotels, with the following Premier Plaza Rooms - top floors. Very expensive. Good views of Shinjuku skyscrapers. Good luxury bath, it seems. Room size of 37 square metres. Shinjuku area, just beside Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. About 10-min walk from the station.













Royal Park Shiodome Tower - One of Tokyo's newest hotels, but very expensive too. The following option is the only affordable one - a Double Room, bout 26 square metres. High up on 33rd floor and above, with good views of Tokyo Tower / Ginza area, or the Tokyo Bay / Odaiba area. Just beside Shimbashi Station and Shiodome Station, and 1 stop away from Ginza, and just across from the new Odaiba development (Fuji TV Building etc).









Both hotel rooms are EQUALLY expensive - about S$1800 for 5 nights.
So, which room did I finally decide on?
