Kawada Hotel

Great hotel for the budget travellers. The hotel room is neat, valet parking is great, no additional charge even we picked it up late on the date of check out. Great location, walking distance to a lot of attractions and a few steps away from Grand Central Market. The staff are friendly and helpful. Will use this hotel whenever I go back to LA.

Fantastic stay, highly recommended This place was absolutely fantastic! The service was top-notch, and the rooms were spotless and very comfortable. I especially enjoyed the on-site restaurant; the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great stay.

Kawasaki Hotel con artist Hotel has no customer parking only offside valet for $40. I had court date next door at the federal building only to fing our that there's no free parking on site or offside. Be careful third party websites represent parking like priceline. Also no manager was on-site and the clerk was rude and very unhelpful. They ruined my day, I had to find a nearby hotel with parking. They refuse to cancel the reservation. Theres homeless people in lobby... I just recommend NOT to stay here. Marriott is right down the street and they have parking and charge less!!!

Wonderful Hotel This is a wonderful hotel in a great location for a budget price. The inside of the hotel and rooms look like they were recently renovated. Everything was clean and comfortable. The only disadvantage to this hotel (and all downtown LA hotels) is parking. There is an extra charge for parking which can run $25 here, and some other hotels charge even more. There is a coffee/tea maker in the hotel room, but other than that, no breakfast is provided. However, there are many places to eat breakfast nearby.

Comfortable, convenient location and good amenities I stayed at Kawada Hotel for three nights recently, and was happy with my stay. The hotel is located less than five minutes’ walk from two Metro rail stations, Civic Center / Grand Park Station and the brand-new Historic Broadway Station. Civic Center / Grand Park Station is only one stop from Union Station, so the hotel is easy to get to from there, and is a particularly good place for a stopover. From Union Station, you can catch the Flyaway Bus to and from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The trains from Civic Center / Grand Park Station also run directly to Hollywood / Highland Station, where you can go to Hollywood Boulevard and the many tourist attractions there, such as the Walk of Fame. The trains from Historic Broadway Station run directly to Exposition Park and Downtown Santa Monica. The room I stayed in was fairly small, but comfortable, with a fridge, microwave oven, and desk. The hotel is good value for Downtown LA, but considerably nicer and more modern than another budget hotel I stayed at in the area. The hotel staff were courteous and helpful, including when I checked in, which was quite late in the evening, and when I needed to borrow an iron and ironing board. I find Downtown LA a rather odd and unnerving area at times, especially at night, mainly due to not many people being around, which is very unusual for a downtown/CBD area. However, Kawada Hotel is definitely in the nicer and somewhat busier part of Downtown LA. For example, it is very close to Grand Central Market, various Downtown LA tourist attractions such as The Broad, and a number of pubs and nightclubs. Overall, I was happy with my stay, and would definitely stay there again.
