The Shinagawa Prince N (for north) Hotel is one of three Prince hotels located on the property. The others being the Prince and the other the annex. The N appears to be aimed at business travellers with a business lounge located on the 17th floor. This floor also serves as the breakfast lounge in the morning. Breakfast offering was modest being soup, scrambled eggs, alternate days for bacon and sausage and alternate days for three types of salad. Toaster available to toast the small slices of bread, croissants, soft drinks and two coffee machines were all in the lounge.The rooms are modest in size as are the bathroom with the toilet contained within. As with most Japanese hotels, they are modest in size. Our room contained a double bed (a bit squeezy), a bucket chair and an office chair. TV was a flat panel located above a work space. A small bar fridge was located under the work space. Plenty of power points to charge devices. A universal charge cable was located in the room. Bathroom had all necessities including shower cap, body scrubbing towel, cotton buds, tooth paste, tooth brush, razors etc. Overall, the hotel suited our needs being directly across the road from Shinagawa station, a major rail hub in Tokyo. Eateries were all round including a food court behind the N tower within the Prince complex. We will stay there on our next Tokyo trip for sure. Oh, don't forget to have Harry the robotic butler bring towels or soft drink to your room. Quite fun to watch this little robot autonomously move around the hotel including in the lift to deliver items...

Worth checking your "inclusive breakfast". It could be a reasonable continental type on Floor 17 of the North Tower, or the Fusion Room cornucopia of breakfast delights. Well worth having one morning at least for the experience! We stayed in the North Tower twice, once at the end of September and once mid October. This hotel is right across the road from the Shinagawa station from where you can catch both the Shinkansen (Bullet train) and the Narita Express (JR line) or SkyTrain ( extra to your JR Pass).||Like all the hotels during this trip (Sept/Oct 2019) the bathroom was small, modular but came equipped with a range of complimentary toiletries, razors, tooth brush etc. The shower was powerful and there were plenty of towels. Everything was very clean. Efficient check-in and courteous staff, you can also get things delivered to your room by a robot!||There is a food hall in the nearby shopping complex where you can get a good evening meal. The Hollywood slot machine room/place on the main road is worth a visit to see rows upon rows of people playing one-armed bandits/slot machines, if you have a spare...
