Hotel Details

Location

Situated in the heart of Little Tokyo, 75 meters from the Little Tokyo Metro station and a short walk to Union Station, with abundant dining and shopping within a few blocks.
The hotel sits directly across from the Japanese Village mall, which houses a supermarket, bakeries, and a variety of shops. The Little Tokyo Metro station (75 m) provides direct service to Pico Station (LA Convention Center) and connections to Downtown Santa Monica and Long Beach via the rail network. Union Station is within walking distance, enabling easy access to Amtrak and Metrolink services. The neighborhood is well-lit and safe, with a lively atmosphere day and night. Restaurants such as Sushi Enya, Marugame Monzo, and Shabu Shabu House are 0.5 km away, making it easy to sample Japanese cuisine without traveling far.

Accommodation

Simple, carpeted rooms with shared bathrooms, ceiling fan and heating, mini fridge, and no air conditioning; practical for budget-conscious solo travellers.
The property has two floors, each with 18 rooms sharing 2 bathrooms and 2 shower rooms. All bathrooms and showers are cleaned and maintained regularly, and the rooms have comfortable beds and a small desk. Rooms come with a ceiling fan and heating; an extra fan is available on request if the room becomes warm. Windows can be opened for fresh air, though street and traffic noise filters in (some find this soothing, similar to white noise). There is no air conditioning. Each room includes a mini fridge and carpeted floors. The shared kitchen is available for basic meal preparation. Overall, the rooms are basic but clean and adequate for travellers who primarily need a quiet, safe place to sleep and shower.

    Use the Little Tokyo Metro station (75 m away) for direct rail access to the LA Convention Center (Pico Station) and other Downtown destinations.

    Request a fan at check-in during warmer months, as rooms do not have air conditioning.

  • 03

    Take advantage of the free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out to explore the neighborhood hands-free.

  • 04

    Plan for paid public parking across the street at approximately $25 per night with in-and-out privileges; the property has no on-site parking.
