Good times!

Stayed w/friends for the USC vs MSU football game. It was a convenient location, close to great restaurants and the metro to easily get to and from LA Memorial Stadium. The buddy system is a must when walking around outside due to the large number of homeless people.

I liked the location of the property. The valet parking was amazing and Duncan was very friendly & helpful. The front desk staff was very nice & attentive to our needs. The lobby was very clean and I enjoyed the choices for food. The room was very spacious and clean. Liked the vicinity to Target and Trader Joe’s and the freeway. Overall, great stay and I would return.

Disappointing

First, I must mention this is my first time traveling in 20+ years. I chose Courtyard by Marriott based on prior experience with the brand, but much has changed since then. Prior to arrival, I was not aware valet parking was pretty much mandatory, but that's on me. I should have done better research. The room was clean, with 1 king bed, an entertainment/desk/chair area, and a bright orange settee with metal table. The bathroom had a large shower. However, the lack of a shower seat and a door that was hard to push open/closed made it impossible for me to use. With a view directly on the spa area, the curtains remained closed at all times, making us feel closed in. The bed was so uncomfortable: under the thin pillow top was an overly firm mattress that caused pain on all pressure points. The fitted bottom sheet refused to stay in place, and the pillows were not supportive. The bed frame squeaked with the slightest movement. When the nearby fitness center was in use, the noise was loud within our room. Waterman's Café had seating for only 8 people at a time, limited hours, and limited staff, who were friendly but not always efficient. Healthy choices were greatly appreciated. Pets are merely tolerated at this hotel, with no facilities for dogs except a square of mulch in the sidewalk outside the building. Overall, the hotel was conveniently located, clean, and nicely decorated. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately, I do not plan to return for a future visit.
The only accommodation for dogs.

The hotel is nice. It’s not too far from the beach or Santa Monica pier- probably about 10-15 walk. There is lots of shopping right by. There is a Target right next door & a Trader Joe’s across the street.
