What guests think

USC Hotel draws strong praise for its walk-to-campus location and courteous staff, while reviews frequently note dated rooms, street noise, and occasional maintenance hiccups such as weak showers, tricky tubs, and temperamental key cards.

Most guests find rooms and common areas clean and comfortable, with some suites spacious and occasional views. Facilities like the pool and gym are appreciated, and on-site parking is convenient but widely considered expensive and sometimes confusing. Dining options on site are limited in hours and the breakfast buffet feels pricey to some, but there are many walkable restaurants nearby. Overall, expect a convenient, service-forward stay best for USC or event visits, with urban noise and older finishes.

Excellent for attending events in USC and orientation, freshmen move in etc. Comvenient walk across the road from USC campus and parking on premises. Excellent breakfast buffet within hotel and Dining options are plenty and metro rail on Expo blvd right next to hotel. 5min walk has Expo tourism sites like california science museum, Rose garden, history museum ,space museum and stadium for major game events for football. Starbucks next to hotel too. Can get pricy during main events but nothing beats location and convenience.

I've stayed here multiple times. It is an average hotel, nothing spectacular. Nothing beats it in convenience if visiting the USC main campus. Expect to pay for parking (currently $40). If you drive an electric vehicle, charging infrastructure is poor. There are only 2 Chargepoint chargers and they are weak on voltage and amperage. If I recall correctly, it was at 205v and charging at 20A. Chargers are to the right of the parking lot's exit.

We were on a college tour and visit with our son and the USC was perfect! The room and hotel were spacious and decked out in USC history and tradition. Just a quick 5 minute walk across the street and we were on campus. There isn’t really anything else in the area that is close/walkable or affordable… We felt lucky/grateful to have found a room available.

Great stay to attend the BMO Stadium. Walking distance. Paper thin walls, every conversation can be heard. Black out drapes were broken, sun light beamed in. Windows were dirty. Shower was a terrible set up and terrible water pressure. Water got all over the bathroom floor. Only way to sleep was to ground out all noises by keeping A.C on continuously.

The room is nothing like the photo online. Our view was the parking lot. The room was dark. The Aircon unit was very noisy and constantly fluctuated between very cold or very hot. The bathroom didn’t seem clean and barely any amenities provided. The room also made me feel very itchy and I think it was a pet friendly room as the ironing board had a lot of pet hair on it. The few positives are: right across USC and the freshman dorms if you are visiting your kids attending the school, there is a Starbucks around the corner, and location is easy access for Waymo, which we enjoyed riding for the first time. This is more a 2-3 star motel charging 5 star hotel prices esp during large school events can go up to 400-500 a night. For that price I’d rather stay downtown at the Ritz and commute over.

The place was great and clean. I have no complaints about the place. Very great place. However, when I arrived to check in, the lady at the front desk was not very kind and gave me a hostile treatment. First, she said I had no reservation and then she refused to speak Spanish because she said she wasn’t getting paid enough to speak Spanish. This was the only downside about my stay. All the other staff we had spoken to before was very professional and respectful.

Staff was very friendly and helpful, with check-in a breeze. Amenities on property including snacks for purchase near the front desk, and complimentary water in rooms was nice. My only minor issue was room-service; I called and ordered a grilled cheese, and they brought me a grilled chicken sandwich instead. I don't really like chicken sandwiches but I didn't was on a time schedule so I dealt with it. The room service staff was friendly.

Well first when the listing on the site says "buffet breakfast" you assume its included like every hotel. Not here. The website is misleading. I looked after they tried to charge us. It says its $25 a person at the very bottom of the of the hotel description but when you get to the buffet they try and charge you $30 a person. $30 a person for a buffet is insane. We went down the street to a local restaurant for $40 total for a hot good breakfast. The showers have absolutely no hot water pressure. Cold water has mediocre pressure. The tubs look like they put another tub on top of the first one so its a least a 2 foot step down to get out of the shower. Very dangerous. Almost fell both times. Because of the tubs being so high if your tall like I am 6'2" you stand almost 10 inches about the shower head so showering is an issue. They painted the tub in the shower and the paint is peeling. Very disappointing when you charge a premium for your hotel to see.
