Lodging in Los Angeles

The Kawada Hotel is on Hill at Second Street, between the Civic Center (one block) and Pershing Square (two blocks) subway stations. This is a great location. The recently re-opened Redwood Bar and Grille (with an excellent, late-night kitchen) is just around the corner on Second Street and Grand Central Market is a few steps down Hill Street. My room was on the top floor in the center wing...
...and had a pretty good view of the Disney Theater and the Music Center.
I've checked, the Barclay currently charges more than a dollar...
...but is very convenient to Bar 107.
