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.
