Check-in was a pleasure. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bartender was helpful…until we went to check out and we found out she double charged us (on our card and to our room, even though we didn’t want to charge it to our room). We had the bank proof and receipts to prove it. The manager kept arguing with us that we did indeed charge them to our room. She was very rude to us

Cute downtown hotel. We walked to dinner. Looks like USC is very close too. Large double queen room, electronic shades to block out the sun. Large walk in shower with decent water pressure. Not a fan of the barn door style door for the bathroom, but very minor thing. Very friendly and helpful staff from the valet to the front desk.
