We spent a day and night at the Hyatt as we were there for my husband’s military graduation, and everything was perfect! The children loved the fact that there was an indoor pool which they were able to enjoy that afternoon and the next morning at 9am. Check out is at noon which gave us enough time to do what we have to do instead of feeling hurried. They have a wonderful selection of breakfast options and they have a small market, bar and dining options in and out of the hotel. We had a great time!

I don’t like to pay $18 for parking. Didn’t know about this in advance. The property was convenient to restaurants in the area and close to USC.

The staff was friendly upon arrival. Nice pool area for the kids. The town was walkable which was convenient. The room was very dusty and all the amenities in the shower were empty. The alarm clock and charging station were loose in the outlet which caused it to frequently lose power.
