Convenient value hotel
We stayed at the Mikado in mid April. Although it looks fairly good from the outside, the inside of the rooms is older (funiture, carpet, etc) although that didn't bother us at all. It is very clean with a very comfy bed. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Hot breakfast (fairly good) and free parking are included.They have a nice pool but it isn't that big and not heated. The bathroom is fairly small so don't plan on 2 using it at the same time. The hotel is bordered on both sides by a freeway and a major street but the noise was not an issue as some others have complained about. The hotel is located close to Universal studios and Hollywood which was our main reason for choosing the place. Overall, good value, clean and convenient location. I would stay there again if in the area.
