Nice basic hotel ”

My boyfriend and I were spending a casual weekend in LA and specifically looking for a hotel in Koreatown. The JJ Grand was a good choice and we enjoyed our stay there. The rates are very reasonable and the location was great. The property itself is fine and we found the room to be clean with a very comfortable bed! We would gladly recommend the JJ Grand if you’re looking for a standard hotel with friendly, accommodating service.

Expect a Solid Stay!”

I stayed here over the weekend on business, and though it appears to be an older property, it's pleasant, well-maintained, and operated by an attentive, pleasant, accommodating staff. It's, of course, in LA's Koreatown--virtually surrounded by nice eateries. If you're a serious sushi lover, please, try to contain yourself; there's a spot, literally, on every corner. The room was clean and comfortable (nice bed and bathroom), though some of its mounted artwork could use some serious updating -- but please don't let this minor thing deter you from experiencing the JJ Grand. It's worth it. I would do it again. In fact, I'd even look forward to it!

Good value for money”

Considerably cheaper than other LA hotels when booked in advance. I was a little worried after reading reviews about the hotel not honoring Agoda prices/bookings, but I suppose there is a risk of overbooking with all third party hotel sites. Certainly old (and "grand" in the past), but everything is still reasonably maintained. Large room. Comfortable bed. Working air-conditioning / heating. Lighting is a little dim. Have to get out of bed to turn the lights off. Good location in Koreatown, and close to public transport (purple line metro and buses). Friendly staff. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Korea Town area”

Given most of the hotels were 30% more expensive then JJ Grand it was worth a one night stay in LA. They could use an update to the interior, wallpaper, furniture but if that happens i guess the prices would go up. Over all i would recommend JJ Grand if you dont want to spend a lot of money and sleep in a comfortable bed. Staff was very nice.

Comfy Convenient & Economical”

The JJ Grand is a 2 minute walk to Wilshire Blvd. Convenient for transport, restaurants, cafes & food vans and banks. Our Twin room was a good size with very comfy beds a handy mini fridge, coffee machine, dining table and television. A large sized bathroom with shower over bath (Clean but not Immaculate). We had a view of the Hollywood sign in the distance. Staff where friendly, helpful and happy to store our luggage upon our early arrival until check in time. The foyer was dated grand yet still nice, with convenient vending machines for all hours snacks & drinks. We would recommend the JJ Grand to Savvy Non Plussed Family Travellers & Couples.

Wonderful, clean hotel with great staff”

The hotel was very clean. My friend and I were pleased with our stay. Room was cleaned every day and staff came right away if we needed anything. Room air/heat works well. Shower had great pressure and very hot. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try their restaurants and cafe. I read other reviews complaining about the wallpaper, but as for me I see no problem. This is a Korean operated hotel, not Trump towers or a chain hotel. If you are expecting stone walls instead of wallpaper in the hallways, then this isn't for you. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my stay and will most definitely come back.

Good location, affordable price, & FREE (valet) parking on premise”

It is impossible to find cheap/free parking in LA hotel. JJ Grand is great in terms of free parking and K-town location. However, bathroom (our room was 412) needs to be cleaned more thoroughly. Our bathtub had mysterious hairs in it and restroom floor had some pubic hair on it too. And those hairs were not mine for sure :)

A great option in Korea Town”

If you looking for a good clean place close to Korea town then this is the spot. Good size rooms, good, but not fabulous, more of a good price in a great central location of Los Angeles, CA.

Good Deal for the Money You Pay!”

The parking fee was cheap, the location was very convenient, and the room was clean! It was a staycation for me and my fiancé and we enjoyed staying here. Yeah some parts of the hotel seems old but once you get in the room, it’s great! No need to worry if this is a good deal for you! It was Close to some of hottesr Ktown spots (some close enough to walk for 5-10 min, some for a cheap uber ride). I really like the parking attendant! Lol he was really nice

Great last minute booking”

It was a fantastic last minute booking on priceline. I went to see Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. The JJ Grand was less than 4 miles away. Lots of street parking (and the valet was free/included with stay!)

GREAT STAY”

This is an older hotel and it reflects the grand style of the past. Very clean and comfortable. Showers and bed were great. Service was better than most. Valet parking is great in downtown LA. I will be back again.

Better than a Motel 6”

My stay at the JJ Grand Hotel was not exactly a 5-star experience... While the lobby presented as decent looking, the moment you step into the elevator, you can see the work that needs to be done on this hotel. With cracking walls in the hallways, a broken elevator button, and rust in the bathtub, the place shows as very old and worn, and not in a positive way. I could hear the water running in my neighbor's rooms and I'm glad I was at an end because voices passed right through the door. I never felt unsafe in the hotel,, which is always a positive note. I was disappointed in the complimentary toiletries. The staff, I must give mixed reviews, as I had to add a day to my stay, which required me to make a separate booking, and when I first checked-in, I asked if I could stay in the same room, and was told no, but with a different staff member, on the day I went to check-out, she kindly told me I could. By that point, I had already packed, so that was quite frustrating. A 2-star stay.

Exceptional”

The hotel wwas extremely comfortable,and the staff was very helpful. Sung at the front desk was very attentive to my needs and granted me all my requests. He was so helpful to the point , he followed me ou the front door to give me directions at night. The tea bar was wonderful an it changed my health. The beds were very comfortable and the location was very nice. I recommend the hotel highly, and I have travelled extensively.

Highly recommend”

I got the king room and it was just as the other reviews said. It was dated and the wall paper was peeling. The curtains were dirty. The a/c was noisy and sounded like it would give up any minute. However, the room was clean and very spacious. I had a fantastic view from my window. The bed was sooooo comfortable i never wanted to get out. It was in a great location close to a metro station. Would totally recommend if you're looking for somewhere cheap and comfortable. I totally enjoyed my time here!

Comfortable and Clean”

Beds are super comfy and everything is clean. Walls aren't super thin but can still hear a bit from other rooms. We stay at this hotel every year and have never had a reason not to come back.

Excellent”

It could use some TLC everywhere. I'm sure it was amazing in the '80's when it was built. PLEASE at least replace the straight shower curtain rods with the curved ones--I have not been in a motel/hotel in 10 years that'd didn't have this great invention. For the money it is adequate, and free parking is great!!

Decent hotel in the heart of Koreatown”

If you’re looking for a more affordable stay, and easy access to destinations in Koreatown, this is a great place.

Perfect for what we needed”

A group of 4 of us went to do kbbq and hit the bars down there. This was a nice location that had 2 queen beds and made for a comfortable stay. No issues with the place, could the rooms have been nicer? Of course. But it was what we expected and served our needs and for a good price. Would stay here again.

Good and could be better ”

The location and Parking is very good,the staff were also professional . The price was to much for the quality of the room and service -One towel ,no tea bags or creamer ,one bottle water in the room ,Everything closed up at 9pm leaving the vending machines as your only resource . We did try the restaurant upstairs and this was very good if you like oriental food . We felt a few little things would make a difference if your going to charge this price .

Horrible Experience. Do Not Book.”

I booked a night at JJ Grand Hotel through Agoda.com and it was a nightmare. Upon my arriva, I was told my reservation had been canceled-even though I had a reservation number and a receipt. I tried contacting Agoda 24/7 Customer Service but received no response. At this point I was hoping the front desk representative at JJ Grand Hotel would honor the price but he never did. I have worked high-end retail and I know what Customer Service means, clearly this is not the case at JJ Grand Hotel. I am very disappointed and would not recommend anybody stay at JJ Grand Hotel.
