We had a wonderful stay during our recent trip. The lobby was very welcoming upon arrival. There was live music, the staff was friendly and there were complimentary snacks and drinks in the bar. The room was clean and comfy. The location was fantastic. Close to restaurants and access to all that USC has to offer.
