Tokyu Stay Tsukiji

We are a young family of 3 that booked this hotel last month and stayed for 3 weeks so let me break it our experience and a bit of 'wish I knew before I booked'. The location of the stay was easy to find and close to Tsukji station and situated in an alleyway right outside the entrance to the Tsukiji tourist fish market. The hotel is quite a bit of a distance from Ginza food and shopping district (approx 10-15 minutes walk to the shopping district in Ginza). Aside from the Tsukiji market that is busy everyday from 7am-2pm, there is not much else nearby for food or entertainment. There is also a few sushi bars in the Tsukiji market that advertises its open 24 hours as well but is quite pricey. The hotel itself was ok. Super small but had everything we needed. It was a bit dated and needs upgrades. The worst thing about this hotel is the smoking room is located right outside the elevator in the sealed entrance area so is unavoidable. As we were located right outside of the market, we got to see what it's like during the day and what its like at nights as well. During the day its super busy and starts to get really crowded from 8am onwards. We got the unique perspective of seeing what the market is like at nights after returning after a day of exploring and its not great as we saw a lot of "Splinters" (referencing a character from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) running around at night. As I said early, had I known, I would not book with my young family.
