Hi, you might want to try this hotel, I have heard that it is pretty good, from some friends of mine. The prices are a bit higher than you are talking about, although it is reasonable for Tokyo. THey have different locations as well.

Things to do:
Take the Kamome sky train at night.
Tokyo Tower & Zojoji
Imperial Palace Grounds
Akihabara Electric Town
Night: Roppongi & Shinjuku
Look at other tips on this site...

You might want to take a side trip to Hakone and stay at a Ryokan or better yet skip Tokyo and Stay in Kyoto.
