The Mikado is in the perfect location. It's close to two Metro stations, giving you access to places like Hollywood and Santa Monica for just $1.75. However, there's plenty to do right outside the front door in Little Tokyo. Although it's downtown, the ruins are ticked away so that noise is never an issue. The only thing to be aware of is that what you see is what you get. The size of the room was perfect for me, but anything more than 2 would be right squeeze. Regardless, I would gladly stay at the Mikado again.
