Are the piano’s tuned?
We have a piano tuner who comes in weekly for regular maintenance and is on call to help us out if necessary. Our pianos are not recording studio ready. If you’d like to have a tuning before your session, please notify us several weeks in advance to schedule with our technician. However, please note that this comes at an additional cost.
Do you have music teachers on staff?
We do not, however, we do have a vast array of wonderful teachers who utilize our space. If you are looking for a recommendation, please ask our front desk staff! Recently, we have been featuring our teachers in a video series on YouTube that you can check out here.

Can I stay late in my room for free?
No! We would need to charge you. Plus, someone else may have the room after you.
Can I go in early without paying?
No! Sorry.
Do you have a printer at Michiko?
Yes, we do! At $0.50 per page, we can print materials for your reservation. Please email us your materials with specific instructions in PDF FORM ONLY, with 36 hours notice and we will confirm that we can do it. Since we are not a copy shop, preparation time is required.
What’s your cancellation policy?
You can cancel your rooms up to 48 hours before your start time to receive a full refund. Anything canceled after this time would still need to be charged in full.
