LAX Area Waterpark Holidays

Great hotel in a great location!!

Definitely will be back!!

It reminded me of it’s Former self as the Montreal Hotel except they had an event at the pool the last two nights and they didn’t end till after 2 AM both nights. If you don’t like loud music, don’t stay at this hotel. Or request a room in the quiet side of the hotel away from the pool.

We stayed at The Aster while attending a show at the Pantages, and the location couldn't have been more convenient. The hotel was very clean, and our suite was spacious, but several aspects of the stay were disappointing. Upon arrival, we were asked for our full name three separate times—by the valet, front-door security, and the front desk—this felt excessive and unnecessarily repetitive. The front desk was efficient but not particularly welcoming; there was no effort to engage with us about our stay, plans, or whether we needed anything. While the room itself was large and spotless, the view was unfortunate, looking directly onto a rooftop dominated by a concrete wall, mechanical equipment, and a service stairway. A few basic details were also overlooked. There was no bottle opener in the room, and the bathroom shower featured a partial glass enclosure that allowed water to escape onto the floor after every use. The robes provided were small for anyone with a larger frame, and the bed was one of the least comfortable hotel beds I've experienced—extremely firm and noticeably worn. The biggest issue, however, was noise. Room 414 is directly below the fifth-floor kitchen, and we could hear footsteps, rolling carts, doors opening and closing, and other servicactivity throughout our stay. Nearby laundry facilities added even more noise, and the service stairway outside was active until 3am. Food was fine, but nothing memorable.

The place is nice a little pricey, considering that the balcony view is overlooking only a piece of the ocean (looks like a lake) where outsiders can fish/drink and homeless can walk by and see right through into your hotel. The guest next to my room, we’re almost broken into because they climbed onto her balcony and tried to go through the siding window. Needless to say not private property and definitely not worth the price. especially since for late checkout it’s $100 plus and it’s $45 a day for parking for a price like that it should definitely be included but again definitely not worth the price.

Staff was great and helpful.

I will definitely 100% stay again. Nice place. It was a good stay.

Kawada's location is very convenient, whether you need to take Metro, or a 10-15 minute walk to Little Tokyo or other parts of downtown. The compact room is mostly quiet, with a microwave and mini-fridge for meal options. Water pressure is great for warm showers.

Room and property very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful.
