The area was very unique with a few shopping a restaurant options within walking distance. The room was a corner room and very spacious. The room just needed some minor detail changes. Example: the bathroom light and vanity area lights up the whole room with no option to close it off. The property was overall pretty good and a comfortable stay. The staff were excellent.

The property worked great for our needs. We needed to book rooms last minute due to a flight cancellation and Aloft had availability. The area was filled with dining options since it was near the USC campus. We booked two rooms and while clean, one room had a distinct smell that reminded me of the smell of dog urine. We were told that the hotel was pet friendly. They sprayed the carpet in the room which worked temporarily but the smell came back unfortunately. We were able to get through the night but they should probably get rid of that carpet or remove it for cleaning.

Trendy & pretty hotel. Great location for restaurants & bars. Loved the bar in the lobby. Craft cocktails & a super nice bartender. We paid for breakfast. (Breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, oatmeal, & bagels.) The beds were very comfortable! Our a/c was a little loud but not a sleep ruiner. Room was quite large too!

Terrible experience. At check-in, staff weirdly warned me three times that the self-park gate “might not work” — as if that’s my problem. Room smelled bad, asked to switch, but the new one smelled the same. Uncomfortable bed, no water pressure in the shower. Also, elevator #2 still has a 2023 inspection certificate — pretty sure it’s overdue. 1/10. Skip this place and stay at the Cambria a block away — way better for the same price.

I was not a fan of the design, it felt like a dorm room by IKEA, small tight quarters, although the bathroom was spacious. Beds were comfy, but noise in the are due to college students was a bit too much.
