My wife and I, and our friends were put up at the Kawanda Hotel on the first night of our final leg of our vacation in California. I have never stayed in a worse hotel, the bed was short sheeted (sheet to small to fit as bottom sheet so quarter of bed was not covered. Never found the mini bar,... More

My room had a "Motel 6" feeling to it; outdated and dingy. There was a refrigerator, but no hairdryer, no iron, no coffe pot and the shower dispensed either hot or cold water-no warm, so I had to take a bath. The staff was very friendly and efficient.

I occasionally travel to LA on business in the downtown area and have returned to the Kawada each time. For my purposes, the location cannot be beat. Shopping is good and you can walk to the fashion district, Chinatown, Toy District etc. As a female traveler, I feel very safe here. There is plenty to do and see without having... More

It bothers me that people have been so negative about the Kawada Hotel. It is NOT the Hilton chain, or the Sheraton's chain - but, if I wanted that sort of hotel, I would go there. So, please when deciding on what sort of hotel you want don't rubbish the hotels that give you good service and are in an... More

First I arrived in the dead of night and even though I had a reservation, I was forced to pay for an extra day for 6 hours. Later that day I was moved to a different room and it was worst than the first. The "Double" room consisted of a single against one wall and a roll away shoved next... More

The Kawada is located at the top of Hill Street at the corner of Hill and 2d. It is a block from the superior court and the county administration buildings, which makes it an ideal location if you have busness at either place. Two blocks the other way is the Ronald Reagan State Building, Two blocks up 2d is the... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights after arriving from a 13 hour flight. Well, what can I say. The area wasn't what you would call terrific. Did not feel safe. The actual hotel had one good point. The lobby was cosy and clean and staff were okay. When we got to our room, we just laughed. It... More

My husband, 10yr old daughter and I stayed here for 9 nights. It was a small room with a double bed and rollaway bed for our daughter. Adequate, clean, dated accomodation, with fridge and over the tub, bath-shower. We found the location to be ideal for exploring in and around LA. However, the walls are thin and people coming and...

I stayed at the Kawada Hotel for 10 days, biggest mistake of my life! From the outside the hotel looks ok for the money, but as you get further in it get worse. Most of the staff are somewhat friendly. Now for the rooms, small and dirty, there is a dirty big A/c along side the bed, the fridge is... More
