I saw lots of bad reviews and was nervous, but if you chiefly want to be near USC, it's fine. I found the hotel to be clean, comfortable, and safe. There was some grime on the outside of the room window, but this is LA. The towels were a bit frayed in places, but they were clean. I didn't have... More

I've stayed here several times over the past year, due to the preference to be within walking distance of the school. Now, some would say that the South Figeuroa neighborhood isn't a nice place (think edge of da 'hood). However, I've spent many of my off hours walking (for exercise in and around the area, including over to Grand Ave... More

We were here for the LA Times Festival of Books, April 20 & 21, and first needed a long parking area that was satisfied perfectly by the attendant. Next the reception clear, Martha Navarro, checked us in and was one of the very professional and courteous. She not only upgraded us to a suite, but took interest in us the... More

I had a good experience at this hotel. I followed the advice on here to get a renovated room facing campus, and it was great! Super comfortable bed, nice large desk, good wifi, and somehow they managed to fit a really great lounge chair right by the window even in a two double bed room. The bathroom was not quite... More

Our room was comfortable and quiet- perhaps recently renovated. It is owned by USC and is I believe it is actually on the campus ( not within the gates). Parking is $20 per day.... breakfast bars and apples in the morning in the lobby. Very basic.

The hotel's claim to fame is its location right across the street from USC in mid-town LA. That role, it fulfills admirably. Other than that, however, it's just average. When we visited, the hotel was in the middle of a protracted renovation. The rooms were fine (probably done already), but the elevators looked like they were last renovated in the... More

They have you at location here, which is the first offense. I went into staying here with full disclosure from a friend as to what to expect, I really didn't think at the time that it could possibly be as bad as she described. Well it turns out that it was actually worse than I ever thought it would be.... More

$20 for parking?! But the room was nice and check out wasn't until 12 noon which was a bonus. Directly across the street from USC so the location was perfect for us. Even from the 9th floor we could still here the noise from the freeway but the view of the city lights was nice. Just off the freeway. Starbucks... More

I stayed for just 1 night, while I visited USC. Location is great, rooms spacious and clean. The view over the parking was the only weakness. No lobby, no place to sit with colleagues. Just across the street from USC
