These days, it's more like $60/night in the Kanto area at least.

As for love hotels, they're a better deal as far as dollar/space is concerned but I don't think they'll let you in if you're by yourself. Might be a good deal if you're traveling with your significant other.
In most places outside of the Tokyo region, $40 a night was quite possible. That's about what I paid in places like Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Matsuyama, etc.
