This was a great spot to stay, to tour the USC campus. The hotel shuttle was super convenient (shout out to Cynthia, our awesome shuttle driver!), and there were so many restaurant options within the radius of the shuttle service. Riley & April at the front desk were also fantastic, and provided excellent customer service.

We were put in a room on the 3rd floor directly under a floor where they were renovating. The drills were going at 8:30am and didn’t stop until 7:30pm. Our room was musty and outdated and our view was of the ac unit on the roof. When we complained the following morning we were moved to a renovated room on the 9th floor. Unfortunately we could still hear the construction below us. I never would have booked if I knew about the construction ahead of time. I don’t understand how they could place someone in a room that close to construction. Very frustrating.
