Top South Los Angeles Hotel Reviews

USC Hotel

USC Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We reserved a premium patio room for one night, and our room was on the first floor. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The patio led right to the pool and spa area, and there were a couple of chairs for sitting outside (we didn't use the chairs because it was hot and then raining), but we did use the pool and spa, which were great. The whole hotel surprised us due to its cleanliness, modern amenities, and ease of parking and access. We didn't use the fitness room but we checked it out for future reference, and it was clean with great equipment in good shape. Access to the museums nearby is excellent, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Looking forward to staying again in the future."
