We spent 2 nights there. Don't use the parking there, there are public parkings for $8 just next to it. Even if you go out with your car twice, it would still be cheaper to park in the public parking. And meters only run until 6PM which is good enough when you come back from dinner or whatever you were... more

The Kyoto Grand was totally overpriced for what is was. The rooms (supposedly recently remodeled) were outdated, especially the bathroom - the sink fixtures barely worked and the bathtub was dirty. Parking was a complete rip-off - we were told it was $24.00 per 24-hr period for self-parking, but upon check out we were charged for 3 days even though... more

Everything is overpriced for no apparent reason. $30.00 per day for valet parking. $8.50 for 4 copies in the business center. $74.00 for room service breakfast for 3 people. (bacon was burnt and juice choices were wrong) Average cost for 3 people at any restaurant in the place is $125.00. Website lists shuttle service available - NOT AVAILABLE. In-house literature... more

I had stayed here several times when it was still the New Otani, but this was my visit under the new name/management. The New Otani had been a solid 3-Star hotel, but I had high expectations for this visit, perhaps because of the new name (Kyoto "Grand" Hotel). Maybe because of those high expectations, I was quite disappointed. The hotel... more

Was in Los Angeles on vacation with my family of four and found this hotel (back then it was New Otani) for a reasonable $150/night. The room was rather cramped with 2 double beds, and the walls were thin. The worst part was that because of its downtown location, there were many helicopters flying around that made it hard for... more

Very nice and clean room. Our internet connection was spotty - worked sometimes and other times it didn't. Other than that, everything was fine. Walked to nearby restaurants. Would recommend this hotel. more

Just returned from a "too short" overnight stay at the Kyoto Grand Hotel and Gardens. I drive to downtown LA from Imperial County for a business meeting. I was semi-tense from the work day and 4 hr drive to get there. It was a welcoming experience. I was greeted with a warm towel to cleanse my hands and a shot... more

After being intrigued by this gem of a hotel back when it was known as the New Otani, I was glad to wind up there recently with a successful Priceline bid. The room was what I expected for a 3-star hotel: perfectly adequate, nothing to go wild over. At registration the desk clerk handed me a cup of iced tea... more

I live in LA without a car. I looked for a hotel near the Metro station and Art Museum I was attending within walking distance. This place was a gem. Three blocks from the Metro station and two blocks from the Japanese American National Museum, right in the heart of LA's Little Tokyo. Formerly the New Otani Hotel, (It still... more
