HOTEL LiVEMAX Mita Ekimae
Using Mita as your transport base, first pick the bed width that suits you, then think through the lift exit and quiet-room requests.

How would I choose?
If this Tokyo trip is mainly business around Mita with daily travel into the city, I would put this LiVEMAX on the shortlist. The official site lists about a 1-minute walk from Mita Exit A9 to the hotel, and the rooms have a separate bathroom unit — a good fit for days spent out and evenings back to rest.
I would look at bed width first, not only at how many people a room type sleeps. Single has a 120 cm bed and Double a 140 cm bed, and the difference is very real when two people share. If you carry a large case, sort out the lift route first too — A9’s ordinary stair exit and its lift exit are not the same.
Location and transport: A9 is very close, but the lift takes another route
The hotel is at 4-3-8 Shiba, and the official access information lists about a 1-minute walk from Mita Exit A9. If Mita subway station is your daily starting point, this location is very intuitive; if you mainly use JR, add the walk from Tamachi Station to the hotel into your plan separately — the subway and JR exits and routes are not exactly the same.
Mita Station Exits A3 and A8 have street-level lifts, while A9 is an ordinary stair exit. A3 passes through the Mita Station Building, open 7:30–23:30; if you arrive late, first check which exit you can actually use rather than simply following the nearest one.
With large luggage, a stroller, or a need to avoid stairs, I would follow the platform lift signs for my line to the ticket gates, then connect to a street-level exit. For the last stretch of street and the hotel entrance, ask the hotel too if you have specific access needs.

Single or Double? Look at bed width and area separately
The official site lists Single at about 10–15 sqm with a 120×195 cm bed, and Double at about 13 sqm with a 140×195 cm bed; both sleep at most 2 people. Travelling alone, I would first check how the case and desk work; travelling as two, first consider whether you can get used to sharing this width.
Some Singles can be arranged as connecting rooms. If you want your companions close by, ask about the full room names and whether this can be arranged together; choose the non-smoking and smoking room names carefully too — especially worth noting if you are sensitive to smells.
Look at the bedside, the window side, and where luggage goes
The room gallery has several shared space examples showing the relative positions of bed, desk and entrance. Whether a small room works well often comes down to whether you can put your bag down and open your case when you return; I would picture my own amount of luggage inside the photos first.

Microwave, desk and separate bathroom: very practical for a short stay
Both the gallery and guest feedback show the room’s microwave, electric kettle and desk layout. If you want to bring a simple meal back, these facilities come in handy; desk and walkway space are both limited, so sorting out what needs to be spread out first works better than piling everything beside the bed.

Guest photos: the bed area and bathroom after check-in
Guest photos add the bed area under different light and the bathroom as actually used. Cleanliness and basic facilities earn plenty of positive feedback, but feelings about space differ; if you want to sit in the room for a long time, or two people each bring a large case, I would compare room types more.

How to plan breakfast? An onigiri box suits a quick morning departure
The current room page lists a boxed / bagged breakfast, and guest photos and feedback also show onigiri bento boxes and tea. If you want a simple morning bite before heading out, this format fits easily into a schedule; if you want to sit down for a full meal, compare eating out too.
When choosing a breakfast-included plan, first check your plan’s pick-up method, timing and that day’s contents, then weigh whether you will use it. The photos show the box a guest received on that occasion; side dishes still follow the day’s supply.

Shared routes and rest: light sleepers should state their needs first
The positions of corridors and lifts inside the building also affect rest. Some guests mention that rooms near the front desk are more easily affected by voices coming and going; if you are a light sleeper or travel with children, I would ask in advance for a quiet room away from shared routes.
Some people also find the air-conditioner display light rather bright. If you need total darkness to sleep, check the night lighting and switches after check-in, and deal with it when you next have a convenient moment to contact the hotel.

Meals and supplies nearby, arranged along the way back to the hotel
Restaurants and convenience stores around Mita and Tamachi suit handling dinner and supplies together. I would buy drinks on the way back, or things to take away the next day, so a later return to the room means resting straight away.
This location suits people who put transport, work and daytime plans first. If you would rather set out directly from beside a JR station every day, factor the street route to and from Tamachi into your choice too, not just the room itself.
One night or longer: pack light, and settle your own routine first
For one night, I would put Mita’s transport position, bed width and the next day’s departure time first. For a longer stay, look more at the desk, case placement and cleaning arrangements; some business travellers find a week here practical, but people who spend long hours in the room every day may care more about space.
If you arrive on a late flight, tell the hotel your arrival time first, and save the contact details from your confirmation email. If you need early luggage storage or a quiet room, ask before departure too — the first day will be easier.
How to choose in the end? I would look first at sleeping arrangements and daily routes
What appeals to me:A location about 1 minute on foot from Mita Exit A9, a separate bathroom unit and in-room heating facilities — suited to solo or business trips that treat the stay as a transport base.
Trade-offs to accept:Single beds are 120 cm wide and Double 140 cm, with rooms of about 10–15 sqm or 13 sqm; two people with large luggage need to think one step further. Ordinary exits and lift exits differ, and people sensitive to sound or light should also state their needs first.
If you do not carry much luggage and spend most of the day outside, this is an option I would be willing to compare. For two people travelling, first choose the right bed width, then look at the actual room’s movement lines — more useful than chasing the ‘in front of the station’ name alone.
