  • Clean and convenient with good service.
  • Room had a musty smell.

“Nice hotel if you can get it through Priceline. Probably not worth paying full price. The location in Japan town made it very convenient to access several Japanese restaurants. I would stay here again if had to be in the area.”

  • Nice rooms, good central location.
  • Parking too expensive.

“This is not about this hotel specifically, but is there a way to find hotels that don't charge an arm and a leg for parking.”

  • The valet was very fast.
  • The staff was incredibly rude, and some didn't speak English.

“I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The staff was rude, the rooms were uncomfortable, and the bathroom wasn't clean. When I called to ask for an extra pillow I was questioned as to why I needed one, I was asked just how many people we had staying in the room, and finally was informed that he didn't know where any extra pillows were but if he found one he would bring it up. Needless to say I never got my extra pillow. Very poor hotel.”

  • Convenient to LA Mart shuttle route.
  • No pool or free workout access.

“Overall the hotel was ok, the bed was pretty hard so I didn't rest real well. For regular American food all that was available was small croissant sandwiches. But is was clean and quiet.”

  • The location and overall pleasantness of the room were great!
  • I was not allowed to check in early without paying a half-day rate.

“A great small hotel with awesome amenities in a great location. Little Tokyo in Downtown LA. Very low-key but well appointed and clean.”

  • Nothing.
  • Old, shabby room that smelled, bad location.

“I would not consider this a 3 star hotel. The room was shabby and run down. The paint was peeling in the shower area and the sink surface was flaking away. I would not have felt safe going outside after 7:00PM. No American food anywhere nearby.”

  • No one spoke English.

“The hotel was located in the Japanese part of Los Angeles. No one spoke great English, and there weren't a lot of American restaurants, all Japanese food.”

  • The kids and I loved the bidet in the bathroom - something new for all of us.
  • The lobby is in dire need up renovation. The furnishings are delaminating and dated.

“The location of the hotel; its proximity to the freeway and LA attractions is great. It is in general a bit dated on the inside and can use some renovation and sprucing up. The linens were clean, and rooms were cleaned well. The staff was not especially friendly, but not rude either. Perhaps it was a cultural thing - all staff was Asian as it is a Japanese Hotel in Little Tokyo.”

  • It was clean.
  • Rude. Pretentious. No knowledge of English language employees who open your door at 3 a.m. while you are sleeping.

“First off, it took me forever to check in, and the man at the front desk spoke poor English, and was entirely rude and insensitive. There was a group of strange people walking in off the street that clearly werent staying at the hotel just loitering in the lobby and staring at people. The room was clean, but nowhere near as nice as what the picture suggested and not to what one would consider a 3 star hotel in LA. At 3 am, I was awakened by an employee rudely barging in. At checkout, I just wanted to leave, but I was pleasantly greeted by woman at the front desk who couldnt speak English either. She then proceeded to ask me "how many bottles of water did you drink?", and I said "why? Does it matter? They were literally next to the bed in the open with no sign or anything suggesting that they not be complimentary, and she proceeded to tell me that they are a dollar a bottle! I said, "yes, we drank three, and hurry up and charge them to the card so that I can just get out of here, and get this place over with. I am completely let down, and I will never bring them business or referrals!”

  • Freeway access.
  • Staff, parking arrangements.

“This was my 3rd stay at this location. By far this, hotel is the worst. Of my 3 stays none have satisfied my expectations. I was not allowed to check in unless I used "Valet parking". The attendant asked us walk with our luggage and 2-month-old child from a parking lot located 1 block behind the Hotel.”

  • Amazing Shiatsu massage, friendly staff, convenient location.
  • Wasn't really "upscale" (3-star); had to leave hotel to get good meals

“I am very happy I ended up at the Miyako. Its central location (near two freeways and less than 20 minutes from everything) made it easy for me to see LA on a short trip. Friendly and efficient staff made it easy for me to get my car and luggage in and out. Nice bed linens and a squirting toilet seat! A short stroll to great Japanese restaurants in Little Tokyo. I had what was probably the best massage of my life at the hotel spa. This is not really an "upscale" establishment (basic rooms and mediocre restaurants), but you can get a great deal and really enjoy your trip with the Miyako as your home base. I would definitely stay there again. Seriously, get a Shiatsu massage here.”

  • The staff helped me put a dress on.
  • The staff gave me a hard time about the parking.

“The only problem I had with the hotel was the parking. My Hummer didnt fit through the parking structure, they still charged us for the attempt. That was the only downside of the trip.”

  • Upgraded us to a nicer room because first room was dumpy.
  • Mildew in bathroom, dirty walls and floor in first room. Second room was great!

“When we first arrived, I was very disappointed. I expected the hotel to be in much better condition, but it felt dingy in many ways. Our first room was adequate, but didn't feel special. The furniture was poor quality and not in good condition. However, the room was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. We found mildew in the bathroom, so we complained about it and were moved up to a much nicer room. The second room was exactly what I had hoped for originally (though it would have been much more expensive). It was beautifully decorated, clean, and really luxurious. It had a huge flat screen TV, nice desk, luxurious bathroom, and even a beautiful suede lounge chair. We felt like being upgraded really redeemed our experience of the hotel, but on the basis of the first room, I wouldn't recommend it. I did have a Shiatsu massage in their spa, which was nice (both the spa and the massage were good).”

  • The price.
  • Rude to Non-Asians and gay men- huge issue about getting a king bed instead of 2 doubles.

“Great hotel for Asian travelers. Unfortunately very rude to non Asians.”
