Kawada Hotel Traveler Review

Not again

I was scheduled for Federal Jury Duty, and this is one of the hotels on their referral list. For someone that is not familiar with the Downtown LA area, parking was a headache. It's not very well marked where individuals should park for valet parking (there is only "Taxi Parking Only" signs in front of the hotel). When I contacted the front desk to ask where I was to go (since there is numerous parking garages around there but none that obviously if for the Kawada Hotel, the staff was quite rude. The front desk staff (a single individual) was quite short too. The Hotel and room were pretty clean, so that was the one thing I could not complain about. Everything is very dark and dreary though. The "amenities" in the room were at a bare minimum and VERY outdated. Lights didn't work and the ones that did, worked sometimes and the phone was not connected, even after I figured out how to reconnect it, I was unable to receive outside phone calls. Anything that could make noise, did, and on a regular basis. Between the street traffic, the various appliances, and the plumbing, I didn't sleep more that a few hours that night. If I go back.. I won't be staying here.

Also, the restaurant that is next door, is very nice but also very expensive and there is no other attached food options besides a vending machine.
