Thin walls!

Overall, it's a very nice hotel for the deal that we got. I stayed twice at this hotel in the last 2 months and both times we got free upgrade to a junior suite which is nice. The rooms very spacious and one time we got a mini-kitchen and the other time a second bathroom. Only minor issue that there was a lot of noise coming from the adjacent rooms. Looks like the walls are not that sound-proof.

Parking in one of the 3 lots across the street is not only cheaper (on weekends and PM) but also more convenient because the Hotel parking is only Valet so going in and out is a pain.

FB Game stay.

It was extremely good/excellent. ,I am sorry the Hotel will be torn down in December for a 5 year rebuild, It will put over 500 employees out of work. The staff was excellent I don't know who the person who said the staff was unfriendly was but he was probably from New York. The only comment I have was I asked them why they couldn't provide transportation to the SCC campus for the Game. And was told no one had asked before. Only negative. I didn't give a 5 because everything has to be perfect like BO DERiCK (10)

OK but not memorable.

The one thing that really disappointed me was the way we were completly ignored by the door man, even when we were struggling up the escalator with heavy luggage. Could do better.

Location, classic

Our room wasn't all that luxury apart from the ginormous size and flat screen wall mounted tv. Clean and quiet. The location is fantastic, plenty to walk to and enjoy. The lobby is brass- (80s Vegas springs to mind),, but clean and well staffed. Great service at tiki bar, very fun place.

Clean but a bit tired

The room was a good size and was cleaned we every day, but appeared to be very 'tired' as if it had seen better days. We arrived by taxi after a 12 hour flight and the doorman ignored us completely (in fact we were never welcomed at the door during the whole week). We struggled up the escalator with our bags and waited 10 minutes before we could check in, again no friendly smile or warm greeting. We felt as if we were invisible during our entire stay.

good for the buck

This was an inexpensive hotel in an expensive city. The workout room was great and never crowded. The pool area reminded us of old LA and the hotel room while tired was clean and comfortable.

Great place to stay when visiting USC!

Beautiful hotel with gorgeous night time view of city. Easy access to freeway. Room great except microwave and fridge make perfect. We were unaware of $35 a day parking charge so that is why we ranked value lower.

City Lights

My room was absolutely beautiful with a nice view of the skyline. We were lucky enough to stay in the hotel on the same night they had an event in the lounge/bar area. Since we were hotel guests we were allowed to attend for free. The DJ was fantastic. There was also a fashion show and quite a bit of networking that helped to distract us from the fact that waitress was painfully slow and cocktails were outrageously expensive. Parking was a bit of pain since you must valet park in the garage and wait in a long line to retrieve your car at the check out time with all of the other guests.
