Decent property but was given the room by the exit & it was so loud with the door closing constantly. Also very annoying to have compact car parking when it only had suvs parked in those spots.
The staff at the check in counter were excellent. I did not realize when booking they charge $20 for overnight parking. Upon entering the bathroom the toilet had been used and not flushed. It made me wonder if any cleaning had been done since the previous guest.
We have stayed in a number of Hotels on this trip. This was the best by far. Great staff. Great breakfast. Great service. Great location...we were visiting USC. Will stay again.

Beautiful property that I would love to come back to visit.
Property and all spaces are excellent. Close to many restaurants and shops.
I guess I missed something but, my room didn't even have a clock or storage for clothing. hanging clothes are right in the living area. I survived but, I wouldn't do it again.
