Miyako Hybrid Hotel

Although the location is in Torrance, which is generally safe, it’s best to avoid the area east of Western Ave. Access is good, as there’s a restaurant (in a mall) within walking distance (about 3 minutes). Walking at night is fine as long as you’re careful. However, since this is LA, please be aware that there are risks. Parking is self-parking and free. The room is well-maintained, though the wallpaper is peeling slightly due to age. It’s not enough to be a concern. There’s absolutely no view from the window. The room is spacious. The rates are a bit on the high side. Since it’s popular, you’ll need to book early. The reception has staff who speak Japanese, which is reassuring. The restaurant serves breakfast, and since it’s Japanese cuisine, it’s very good. The quality of the food has declined compared to before. They don’t cook in front of you; instead, they serve dishes prepared in the kitchen. The rice is on the firm side. It’s not quite like in Japan. The mackerel is delicious. I highly recommend the breakfast here. The bathroom is larger than those in Japanese hotels and is not a unit bath. It features a deep bathtub and a separate shower area; bath amenities do not include toothbrushes or razors. Shampoo and other essentials are provided in the bathroom. It’s average. The toilet with a bidet seat is excellent. It’s a shame the TV isn’t a smart TV. I wish they’d make it possible to watch Netflix and YouTube. Rooms are cleaned daily. Towels are changed daily too. They keep everything clean. The staff works diligently, so I feel quite at ease. The deciding factors were the breakfast and the bath—they’re the best, so I booked here. This is the best hotel you can experience in the U.S. outside of this place. The airport shuttle costs $25. It’s a pity there’s only one trip a day, but it’s cheap. An Uber would cost over $50.

Stayed here because of proximity to work location. Also very accessible to LAX. Quiet immediate surroundings but busy street and many shops and restaurants within a short drive. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Japanese hotel has some nice touches like large soaking tub with very hot water if desired. Japanese restaurant and spa in the hotel. 24 hour self check out mini store (wish they had some Japanese snacks and drinks). The breakfast buffet was over $30, and I would only recommend if it’s for you. Service was excellent and super friendly. Quiet hotel.

Traveled there for business. Room was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was pleasantly large with a big walk-in shower. Help Desk, housekeeping & restaurant employees were all of high caliber, & extremely attentive. Hotel was very quiet despite being booked allowing for excellent sleep. If you want a clean hotel with great service this is for you.

Room was clean and staff was friendly. An issue like all hotels is the AC did not keep the room cool enough so nights sleeping were always too hot and nothing could help lower the temperature. They have a "Grab and go" for snacks and sell cereal and ramen and other snacks BUT NO SILVERWARE!!! So grab some plastic ware before you go or youll be eating ramen with your hands at midnight due to no silverware and in hotel restaurant is closed. Also, paid for the executive suite but was not impressed. Standard mini fridge instead of a full size and nothing distinct to make you think "yup this is worth the extra and is an executive style suite". Will book somewhere else next time.

Wow! This beautiful little hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. We decided to do a staycation while attending the 2nd Annual Sake Festival at the hotel on Saturday. We didn't want to day drink and drive back home to West LA, so we booked a one-night stay here for $225, including taxes, on Expedia. There's plenty of free self parking, which is just great. Valet services are available if you need them, but we didn't. For that room rate, I really didn't expect much, but the Deluxe King room was massive! Very clean and just gorgeous! Large bathroom with a shower and tub area separate from the bathroom sink and mirror and Japanese toilet. There was every amenity you could think of in the bathroom, and lots of towels. After dinner and drinks at the hotel, we took a soothing soak in the bathtub, then wrapped ourselves in the plush robes, which was very nice. The king bed was large and comfy, with 6 pillows and very nice linens. There was a living room area with a couch, table, desk, and a separate little bar area with a sink and faucet and microwave. The only downside was the room temperature. When we first entered the room around 3:30 pm, it was about 85 degrees. I thought the heat was on. I closed the curtains over the two floor-to-ceiling windows, and turned down the air conditioning, or so I thought. When we came back to the room around 8:30 that evening, it was around 75 degrees, despite showing a temperature of 62. I called the front desk and an engineer came to the room. He said they have central air conditioning, and you cannot individually control the temperature in the room. I told him it was too hot for us to comfortably sleep, and he offered to bring up a large box fan, which we accepted. He set it up on the desk across from the bed, and we slept very well with the fan blowing on us all night. I would definitely come back again, as it was such great value for the money, clean and very quiet, too. We'd just make sure to order a box fan for the room in advance.
