Room was good, ver spacious. Tiffany at the front desk was super sweet and helpful. Bartenders could use some work on their greetings to bar guests, but overall nice.

Very nice hotel. Everything is modern and new. Good variety of items for breakfast, including waffles, pancakes, eggs and breakfast meats, plus breakfast tacos. Front desk was very friendly and efficient, even when swamped.
The only problem was that the smoking area is way too close to the main entrance… you’ll smell like smoke by walking through the front doors.
Overall the hotel was fine. My only concern was there seemed to be a lot of loitering in the hotel lobby, to the point that people were publicly drinking out of a liquor bottle watching the televisions. I also had a debit card go missing in the lobby, that was used at the gas station and McDonald’s across the street. I have reason to believe this happened while I was parking and my girlfriend may have not been watching the bags closely. This was on the 4th of October. Overall it was fine, just felt like the lobby was a bit chaotic.
Room was large, very clean. Amenities were great. Parking easy. Food/ service at on-site restaurant was excellent. Everything was great from the time I checked in right up to check-out. No complaints will definitely stay again and highly recommend to friends and family visiting the area.
Beautiful room ,Clean and comfortable! Great free breakfast! My check in experience was less than welcoming though. It was Sunday 09/28/25 at approximately 4:30 in afternoon and no one at desk. Waited and walked around for approximately 10 minutes then called. Finally she showed up but was not pleasant. That’s all I’m saying.
The front desk staff was very friendly. Parking was $12/day, but it was very simple to use with a QR Code. The unit was clean and updated. Shower pressure was great. The manager had a meet and greet including beer and wine and light foods. Not sure if this is done every night. We were there on a Wednesday night. That is the first time I have ever experienced service like that. After the meet and greet we ordered from their bar/grill and the food was great as well. Nashville chicken sandwich with french fries. I would stay there again. Clean, safe and great service!!
What a fantastic hotel! So worth being a couple of blocks out of the mayhem of The Vista. Brand new, huge suites, well appointed, and a beautiful lobby. I am a major hotel snob and this is my new favorite stay when visiting my son at USC. Easy parking too! What a gem. And the employees were all super sweet. I am very impressed.
