The hotel has a convenient location, just down a dark alley but very close to everything for USC events. The rooms are spacious and clean, making for a comfortable stay. However, the service left a bit to be desired, and the dining options were somewhat lacking. Overall, I found it to be decent value for the money.

This hotel is conveniently located in the downtown business district, making it perfect for my visit to an event at the Art Museum. The rooms are spacious and modern, which added to the comfort of my stay. While the parking access was a bit tricky since it was down a dark alley, I overall found it to be a decent experience. The dining could use some improvement, particularly with more diverse breakfast offerings.
