I stay at the MO Tokyo whenever I'm in Tokyo for business, typically 2-3 times a year for 2-3 days.
The MO Tokyo is my favorite hotel. The service is incredible. For example, I'm always impressed that when I walk up to the front desk to check in, they already know who I am, and have all the paperwork prepared (I think the staff on the ground floor must sneak a peak at my luggage tag and radio up to the check-in staff. My first time there, after having checked out, the woman accompanying me downstairs in the lift noticed my Cathay Pacific luggage tag, and asked me if I had registered for miles for my stay. I hadn't known I could, and as soon as I said no, she pulled out a pen and a pad of paper, took down my mileage number, and said "I will take care of it for you". Concierge is similar - all my experiences at the concierge desk has exceeded my expectations.
I have only eaten room service, which was actually only ordinary, though still pretty good. Tapas molecular, the molecular gastronomy mini-Restauraunt is amazing. Service in the bar was also memorable. Gym is standard, on par with the rest of the hotel, a bit small but adequate. Room is Mandarin Oriental standard, which is to say very comfortable, and impeccable attention to detail. The welcome fruit is always delicious, especially my first stay there, where the large sweet strawberries dusted with caster sugar was out of this world.
Location is perfect for my work. As a tourist, I would probably want to stay more west closer to shibuya, omotesando, etc, but the hotel is a hop and a skip from a subway station, so location is actually just fine.
