Cons:
Expensive parking (reported ~$45/night) and extra breakfast fees

Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Many reviewers described rooms and hotel as very clean, though a few noted issues (bathtub with dark patches, sticky carpet near the window) indicating mostly strong cleanliness with occasional lapses.
Service
9
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, professional and helpful; several positive mentions of attentive service. One guest reported no callback from the property, a minority negative.
Location
9.2
Overwhelmingly praised as ideal for USC (right across the street) and centrally located/close to transit and restaurants; some guests reported noise from the nearby freeway or busy road.
Room Quality
7.6
Rooms are spacious and generally comfortable, but multiple comments note aging décor, some wear (sticky carpet, dated bathrooms), and beds described as just 'ok' by some guests.
Amenities
8.3
Complimentary water, bathrobes and room service were appreciated; amenities are useful but breakfast was often not included and parking is a paid add-on, which affects perceived amenity value.
Value for Money
7
Several guests complained about high parking fees (~$45/night) and additional breakfast charges (reported as $25/person), lowering perceived value despite good location and service.
Food and Beverage
8.7
Breakfast at the nearby restaurant and room service received positive comments, but some guests wished a breakfast option was included rather than an extra charge.
Overall Experience
8.8
Overall experience is positive—especially for visitors to USC—with clean rooms and strong service; negatives (parking cost, occasional noise, some room wear) slightly reduce the score.

Perfect location
Pros:

I loved the proximity to USC which is literally right across the street by foot.
The parking was $45/night which was charged to the room. We accidentally also paid $20 in the garage.
The breakfast next door at the restaurant was very nice! Everyone always took very good care of us!

Convenient and safe location near Lucas Museum
Pros:

Comfortable beds. Appreciated complimentary water bottles. Bathrobes looked nice, though we didn't use them since we weren't there long.

Cons:

Street noise from window could be improved with better insulated windows. Room 309 carpet was sticky near the window. After we checked out by dropping keys in express check out box outside elevator, we realized we couldn't open the locked gate to the parking garage, and had to walk all the way around to the drive-through path. This was our oversight.

Pratique pour USC university mais sans charme
Pros:

L’emplacement idéal pour USC university . Le personnel efficace , serviable et très agréable. Très bon accueil. Les services.

Cons:

En dehors de la praticité pour USC university , je n’ai pas aimé l’emplacement et l’environnement trop proche de la route rapide. La chambre donnait sur la voie rapide donc beaucoup de bruit de voitures et motos particulièrement la nuit. Chambre grande et propre mais sombre, triste, datée et sans charme. Très classique et un peu vieillot .Sanitaires datés également bien que propres. Vieux voiles de rideaux à changer. Vue sur le parking couvert et la voie rapide très bruyante. Parking cher.
