    The morning I was checking out, 500 Mbps wifi, less than 1Mbps.

    This is a run of the mill, low class Motel 6. Highly deceptive ratings on other websites give it 8 out of 10 stars when they only deserve 1. They advertise a "kitchenette", in the room. For them, that means a microwave/fridge. There is no safe in the room, no iron/board, no clock/alarm. Plus the main outlet by the table didn't work at all. They have an outrageously priced vending machine. I wanted a bottle of Coke, they wanted $4.50 for it! I went out in the morning, came back that afternoon and my key card had been turned off for no reason. Biggest disappointment of all...,they advertise 500 Mbps WiFi. In actuality, it is 4-5 Mbps. No, that is not a typo...they have single digit wifi, not even fast enough to open a webpage or check email. I had to use cellphones data from phone to accomplish anything. I reported it to the desk person and showed him speed test on my phone. He didn't seem surprised or alarmed. Said he would report it. I left hotel came back over 8 hrs later. Wifi was actually slower....not even 4Mbps! When checking out the next day, I mentioned the wifi issue to the morning desk person and ran a speed test with a result of less than 5 Mbps. He insisted it was weather related, even though I could show him screenshots of speed tests from nearby restaurants and other places that all had at least 500. The final insult was that I had to give $100 deposit for incidental room charges. I broke nothing in the room, there was nothing in the fridge for me to be charged for, I made no phone calls....nothing to be charged $100. I was assured I would get it back upon checkout. I checked out on Saturday. On Monday they put the $100 charge through instead of refunding it. I had to contact the credit card company and do a chargeback to get my money refunded. On the positive side, the room was very clean, bed comfortable. But I wouldn't stay there again under any circumstances. I posted several pictures of the slow WiFi via speed tests taken at different times of the day/different days.

    The food from the previous guest was not thrown out when cleaned.

    First off its a Motel 6 so obviously one should not have too high expectations. The room was very nice for a Motel 6, also very spacious with a good working AC, comfortable bed, updated appliances, not to mention a quick and easy check in/out process, etc. The only knock on this review I had was that when we opened the small refrigerator there was still food from the previous guest in there so the previous clean up was not very thorough. Also the door in the side entrances to the motel states it locks all the time and appears to have to use the room key to access but it does not work. The door is swings open easily and anyone can walk in to the motel. But good location as well just off the freeway. I would not mind staying here again though.

    Overall positive experience staying here! Clean building and room with modern updates. Convenient location next to highway & shopping center with Ikea, Target, various restaurants. Simha at the front desk is very friendly and accommodating!

    The staff here is friendly and helpful. My room was clean & spacious although it had a bit of a musty smell. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows weren't great. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet my room was. This is a very decent budget motel. The hallway however needed a good vacuuming. They offer a large array of vending drinks & snacks. Free WiFi and a pool. It is a few blocks to the 405 Freeway. Very close to the 110 Freeway as well. The area offers many dining opportunities and the motel is right across the street from a large shopping mall. It is a very convenient location for many reasons.

    Soiled sheets on the room .

    Horrible service and they wouldn't accommodate me when I asked to change my room . Because of a stain on my blanket and was by the ice maker .

    Special check in time requested

    This was one of the most humiliating and frustrating experiences I've ever had. The way I was treated was completely unacceptable. The staff member laughed in my face, belittled me, and denied my confirmed reservation from Booking.com for no valid reason. I had gone out of my way to make sure my special request and late check-in were approved before booking, yet I was still turned away as if my situation didn't matter. On top of that, he lost my credit card and repeatedly insisted he had returned it, making me feel like I was the one in the wrong. After arguing back and forth, he finally found it buried under paperwork, then shoved it back at me with an attitude--as if he was angry at me for his own mistake. I was already dealing with an emergency, needing a place to stay for the night after my home flooded. Instead of receiving help, I was treated with disrespect and left stranded, exhausted, and completely devastated. No one should ever have to experience this kind of treatment. His behavior was unprofessional, rude, and absolutely unacceptable. People in customer service should not be allowed to treat guests this way, especially in moments of crisis.

    Gone for almost 40 minutes when they only said 15-20

My wife, my daughter and I have stayed at this hotel over 100 times in the last 30 years. We're loyal to it, because it feels like home, the way we have always been treated. The location is perfect when we are visiting our many relatives in town. My wife actually had a difficult time checking in the last time we were there. Due to my own mistake, I did not put her down as an "additional guest". When she tried to check in after a 9 hour, 400 mile drive at 11 PM at night on her own. A new front desk person, wouldn't let her check in, unless I was present. We have never had that happen before in all the years we've stayed there. Normally when we check in, there's always somebody at the front desk who knows us. But this was a new person, and that's not her fault for being new. I will confess that the discussion became heated between this person, my wife and me. My wife felt intimidated and afraid she would have a place to stay for the night. Ultimately, she was allowed to check in and I got there several hours later. The reason I'm writing the review, however, is because when I called to explain/complain, Christine (Kristine?) and Rachael, we're extremely responsive and polite. They didn't immediately go into: "We believe only a coworker's story and not yours." mode. They didn't take sides. They listened and made this loyal customer feel heard. The de-escalated the situation like professionals. This is rare these days. My wife had felt so intimidated by her interaction with the front desk clerk, we actually ended up canceling our next three stays at the hotel. BUT talking to Christine and later Rachael changed everything. I'm impressed. We will be back.

It offers superior value over most chain hotel, achieving a Zen like atmosphere, accompanied by immpecable customer service and Japanese organization, efficiency and cleanliness. Upon arrival to the hotel and finishing check-in, we ascended to our floor with our luggage by utilizing the Mitsubishi elevators. We entered our sizable Japandi designed Queen suite and a lacquered container was awaiting us, placed on top of a large table, containing a selection of Sencha and Hōjicha. The soft shimmering glow of the South Bay was visible in the distance through the two sliding glass doors, appropriately lit by two Panasonic FHF24SENF3 24-shik style slim high-frequency fluorescent tubes as found in most Japanese hotels, recessed above the curtains. We decided afterwards to enjoy the fresh air, and partook in Marlboro Blend No. 27's and Camel Blues respectively. Before heading to dinner, the offerings of Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds were colocating to the smoker's station, contributing to tabako bilateralism as they joined several Japanese domestic market (JDM) Neo heated nicotine sticks. This is becoming more and more are in this day and age, as mainstream media would lead most people to the conclusion that relations and communication amongst the nations is fading away in the world. I consider myself a political optimist and often, a walking contradiction at best, but I must digress. Dinner afterwards was spectacular, and we chose the seasonal combination after perusing the menu, which was extensive, offering a plethora of classic Japanese dishes ranging from Katsu curry to sashimi. We sampled a plethora of rare Japanese foods, each appropriately sized and filling. These dishes are rarely found in America, or even outside of Japan in Asia as I have experienced first hand. Their tempura with Matcha-jio and fish soup is a must try. We also paired the dinner assortment with cold plum and hot sake. Afterwards, I was able to enjoy a wonderful shower and had a long, relaxing soak in the modern Toto Japanese-style tub. My friend and I then winded down in the tranquil room, waking up the next morning and completely refreshed after a very peaceful night's sleep. We spotted the skyscrapers of downtown Los Angeles and the spectacular San Gabriel Mountain backdrop off in the distance from the balcony, as the rising sun illuminated all of the city. We realized much later on that this was a once in a lifetime experience as my friend resides almost a day's drive away. To summarize, I would highly recommend anyone who is traveling, or just someone who would like to have a staycation to visit Miyako Hybrid Hotel. For us, it provided a unique and comfortable place to rest, and partaking of "Mikayo Hybrid" fare at the Ise-Shima restaurant after a 9 hour drive from NorCal was a wonderful surprise. I will return in the near future, as it brings back nostalgic memories of my travels to Honshu as a child.
