On top of your room charge this place charges 24 bucks for self park and 30 bucks for valet. Not to mention -- no free internet. You have to pay 10 bucks a day for internet. Lousy way to do business. I'd never stay here again after paying these fees.

The lobby atmosphere is very nice. Clean, floral smell nicely air conditioned. The staff was not as professional and accomodating as you would expect from a hotel that suggests Japanese roots.

Well the valet guy looked very busy. It seems there was a wedding being held...Front Desk clerk was also to busy talking on the phone(personal call I think). I guess the only good thing was the Garden; because the room smelled like smoke. And it was a non-smoking room. But if you have jury duty, I suppose you should stay.Only because it's close to the court. And yes beware!! you will not walk alone. Homeless guys all over the place acting like your shadow... Anyhow the lobby bar tender is great, along with the concierge lady named Key or Kee; only reason why I gave this hotel three bars for service if not forget it!!

I travel every week and try to find new, unique hotels. Formerly the Otani Grand Hotel and Gardens, this hotel changed ownership in December. Although going through some glitches in finding the place online, once I arrived and found my room to be beautifully appointed in a Japanese deco style, I was pleased with the results.

Pro: Japanese breakfast on rooftop garden is great. Only about $25. Also, other good restauraunts and shiatsu center. Good location to downtown.

It was my first time going to los angeles with my family and i was looking for a nice and clean hotel to stay and in a good location area that was accessible.My travel agent surgested the new otani hotel and i booked it straight away.Curiousity got the better of me so i looked it up on the internet i was horrified about the reviews. Anyway i was very surprised when i got there. The hotel was very clean and charming their was one desk receptionist who was very nice and help us alot even put in a fridge and a microwave in our room when we asked. The bathroom was new like it had just been installed and housekeeping change our sheets every day. Only thing the carpet was a little stained,but that didn't bother me face it we not eating off the carpet. The outside of the hotel on the street is clean but its when you cross to walk to the next block then the reality hits you My God!! homeless people,mental ill people are around every corner.Hollywood is a fake and its a horrible place.We went to beverley hills and rodeo drive where they made Pretty woman, the shops were empty with no shoppers. overal the hotel was good. Easy transport on the metro and buses.

Extremely clean, everything new, great views, best service, great location, great value, rooftop Japanese garden with waterfalls, 10 restaurants and a Starbucks at the first floor. We love it!

I stayed here recently when I came to the Star Wars convention and it exceeded my expectations. The staff was helpful, efficient, and polite. They did everything to make us feel at home even though many of their usual guests were Japanese tourists. The room was clean and comfortable. It had a very nice lobby and best of all, a Starbucks on the premises. The restaurants are a little pricey but there are places to eat nearby in Little Tokyo and there's a good pizza place about a block away. If I need to stay in downtown L.A. again, I'd pick The New Otani.
