The proximity to USC stadium was ideal. However the breakfast was very much microwaved, out of the box prepared and tasted as such. Even the buffet style presentation lacked effort, which was disappointing considering the cost $16+. I frequent Hilton brands across the country and was a little disappointed by comparison. Staff was polite and parking was decent however unless necessary will not be staying in the future.

Not satisfied

When we go to the hotel around 4:45-5:00 to check in. The front desk worker said the room was not ready and could not give us a time to how long it would take. We waited around 30 minutes to get the keys to our room. When leaving the hotel the next morning, when walking out of our room there was 4-5 housekeepers standing in the hallway talking very loudly and laughing loudly. We could hear it from down the hall in our room.

I’m surprised Hilton has their name on this hotel-it is awful. The pool was closed for “maintenance.” The electronic locks coming inside from the parking lot are not operational- you have to walk around the block to the main entrance, in a bad area of town to enter. Locals visit the property at night and use the outside grills and have gatherings- it’s a mess! There were no toiletries inside the shower, we asked for replacements, front desk said she was trying to have some one bring them but only one person was able to do that! LOUD street noise ALL night! This is a horrible hotel, stay away! i never leave bad reviews!

The pool was closed for maintenance unfortunately. Apparently it has been out for over 5 months. We also got charged just to sit down in the dining area which I found to be absurd. The establishment itself is very well maintained, but lacked in other areas. Will not stay here again.
