Delicious Breakfast Choices

I was pleasantly surprised by the complimentary continental breakfast! The biscuits and gravy were delicious, and I loved that there were several other classic options like eggs, grits, and bacon to choose from. It was a great way to start our day, and we appreciated the variety available.

Cozy and Comfortable Stay

Our room was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The plush linens and ample pillows made for a great night's sleep. Even though we were near a railroad, the room was quiet enough that we didn't feel disturbed.

Great TV Selection

I was impressed by the generous selection of channels on the TV in our room. It allowed us to enjoy a few quality movies on HBO during our stay, making our downtime even more enjoyable.

Safe Parking Experience

The parking lot had ample space which made it easy to find a spot. Even though it was a bit dark, I felt safe leaving my vehicle there overnight. I appreciated that there were no sketchy characters around.

I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. While the location is convenient for attending events, and I appreciated the proactive approach of the maintenance staff, the overall service left much to be desired. There were issues with room maintenance and the breakfast experience was poorly managed. It could have been a great stay if they improved on these fronts.

5.4/10

During my week-long stay, I found the hotel provided a basic experience near USC but left much to be desired. The staff, especially those handling repairs, were quite helpful. However, I encountered multiple maintenance issues in the room, and the breakfast offerings were quite limited and poorly managed. If you need a place close to downtown, it might suffice, but don’t expect a restful or thoroughly pleasant stay.

The room was generally clean, but I had several problems, including a toilet that didn't flush properly and a heater that was malfunctioning halfway through my stay.

The location is quite convenient for those visiting USC; however, the surrounding area feels a bit industrial and is not very walkable.

5.8/10

My stay at this hotel was a mix of pros and cons. While the staff was friendly and the location was convenient for accessing downtown, the room itself had some major issues. I encountered problems like a malfunctioning toilet and an odd bug in the shower. The breakfast could also use improvement, as it felt meager and I was left disappointed by the service during that time.

The room was clean but showed signs of wear, with a toilet that didn't flush properly on the first night and a heater that failed on the third night. Overall, I’d rate the condition of the room a 5.

While the building looked nice from the outside, the inside felt a bit run down and lacked some standard amenities typical of better hotels.

The hotel served its purpose by providing a clean and budget-friendly place to stay near USC. While the friendly staff did their best, the thin walls and recurring train noise were quite bothersome. The bathroom issues and limited breakfast options were disappointing, making it a mixed experience overall.
