My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The location was great, close to downtown and with friendly staff. However, the rooms felt outdated with musty odors, and the dining options were below par.

Initially, the room at the end of the hall looked like it was from the 1950s with old peeling wall coverings. However, after switching to a room on the fourth floor, it was much better and spacious.

The hotel is conveniently located downtown, close to USC and five-points, with free parking. The rooms were spacious and clean, but had a smell of cigarettes initially. The service was helpful, although there was confusion about the booking terms. The dining experience was basic with limited options. Overall, it's a good choice for those working nearby with a tight budget.

Upon arrival, the room smelled of cigarettes and appeared to be furnished with second-hand items, which didn't quite justify the high room rate. The lack of readiness and poor assistance from the staff added to the initial disappointment. However, the hotel's proximity to USC and free parking were positives, although the location was undergoing renovations at the time of my stay.

The hotel was conveniently located downtown near the USC campus, making it great for my work trip. The rooms were clean and warm upon arrival, but lacked some basic amenities like a microwave. The service was helpful overall, though the constant door-opening after a single knock was invasive. The dining experience was below par, with limited options for a charge. Despite its central location and friendly staff, the hotel felt a bit outdated for my taste.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room we first got had outdated furniture, a broken wardrobe door, and a musty smell but after requesting a change, we were given a much better room on the fourth floor. The hotel's location was convenient for our needs, close to where we needed to be. However, the dining options were limited, with only coffee available for a charge, and the pricing seemed a bit high for what was offered.

The hotel is conveniently located in downtown, close to USC, with free parking, making it conducive to my needs. However, the rooms had a lingering smell of cigarettes and were slightly damp from recent carpet cleaning.

The dining options were limited and overpriced, with stale bread on the menu. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives worth considering for a stay.
