We finally decided on a hotel. That's good news since we are leaving on Monday. I was a little worried that we would still be arguing over hotels when our plane landed in Tokyo.
We went with Shibuya for a few reasons. The Shinjuku hotels are probably more luxurious, but we all decided that we are not going to spend all that much time in the hotel anyway. Since none of us have ever been to Tokyo, we want to see Tokyo, not some hotel. In Shibuya, we found a place that is more like an apartment than a hotel. It will not have all the room service and housekeeping that you get in a hotel, but it seems like a nice apartment. Hopefully, it will give us a better experience, more like the way people live there instead of tourists staying at a hotel.
Shibuya seems to have more for all of us. From what I can tell, Shinjuku is a business and party area, with a lot less in between. Shibuya seems to have a little bit of everything. We also had to consider our luggage. Lily & Kevin don't know how to travel light. I'm not really sure why that is, but they always bring more than they ever need on trips. The Shibuya apartment is close to the train station. The Shinjuku hotels would require some extra walking time, which is always more of a chore when you are unfamiliar with the neighborhood and have to drag along suitcases on choppy roads. For whatever reason, the luggage companies design their wheels for the smoother airport floors, not for the uneven surfaces beyond the sliding glass doors.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
