Pros:

I really loved that there was a Bible in the room - you don't see that often. The staff was also incredibly friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean and very comfortable.

Great location but hotel needed some upgrades.
Pros:

Location was great for the USC orientation. I could walk everywhere easily without having to move my car.

Cons:

The parking garage was extremely tight and hard to get around. The AC was not working in my room overnight and it got extremely hot. I told management about it and they did not seem overly concerned. They did send someone up to fix it so the 2nd night was much better. Pool area was less than desirable. Not what I was expecting from a Marriott.

overall, I really enjoyed my stay and I would definitely return back to this hotel when they have a deal again
Pros:

scenery the building aesthetics, and the cleanliness of the room was perfect. The bed was super comfy.

Cons:

showers were a little small, so will be hard for two people to take a shower at the same time but I guess that’s not a requirement
