I’m surprised by some of the bad reviews because the staff from the moment we arrived to the moment we left was very kind and hospitable. The bartender was lovely and made our stay even better. We instantly felt as if we have known her because of how warm she was.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The hotel was very clean and the staff were all very polite and friendly. The food from the bistro downstairs was really great. There is a pool but no hot tub. The parking garage is a very tight squeeze, and there is no valet parking. The hotel is within walking distance of several different restaurants which is very convenient. The room was a little noisy though and there was a lot of street noise we could hear throughout the night. I would stay here again, especially if I had an event at USC.

Staff was friendly hotel was clean and the breakfast was very good. I would say the gym could use a little more in it as there was only one bench to do weights on and no machine at all. I was fortunate to be the only one doing weights both times I used it but I could see this being an issue - would recommend for the size of the hotel to add another bench or add a machine weight system.
