My husband and I stay in the Miyako Hybrid Hotel whenever we are able. Located in a quiet area of Torrance with many trees, it’s a gorgeous hotel inside and out. Parking is plentiful. The staff is quiet and efficient. Check in is a breeze and checking out is even easier. We always stay on the 7th floor, also called the Executive floor. It is extremely quiet and requires a special key to access it. We take both breakfast and supper in Iseshima downstairs. The food is superb, the cocktails as well, and it is only a swift, smooth elevator ride back to our room. In the morning, Iseshima’s Japanese breakfast is fantastic. I never knew how great it is to start the day with pickled vegetables, miso soup, grilled mackerel, rice, and more. For those who prefer American fare, that too is available and excellent. My husband says the fried potatoes are the best he’s ever had. Both breakfasts are set out buffet style so that one may help oneself to both cuisines as one chooses. The coffee, by the way, is delicious and strong.
Our rooms are always clean and stunning. The only down side for me is the dearth of pillows. I like two pillows so I can read propped up in bed. I know they would have brought me a second pillow if I had only asked, so next time we stay in this marvelous hotel, I will do that. Then absolutely every detail will be perfect!
