Everyone who works here is very friendly and helpful. We decided to stay an additional night, and after making the reservation on my phone, the front desk attendant ensured we got the same room, updated our keys and parking pass, and everything was done quickly and easily. The cute little food/bar area was nice to read in while sipping a glass of wine. The gal behind the bar was friendly as well. Juanita, who is a member of the housekeeping staff, was very friendly and helpful and checked to make sure we had everything we needed.

We arrived in a room that was obviously used (hotel key cards on table, tv on) and ripped a part bug on the bed. I went down to the lobby and they said they took that room out of the system, but it still came up available. They gave us 2 breakfast coupons for my family of four.

We didn't feel very safe and I wish I would have looked at The Graduate Hotel, closer to campus. This is a little bit of an uphill walk (10 minutes) to campus - there are other hotels closer.

The front desk gentleman was very nice and professional, The only thing was that he announced my room number with male guests behind me. I was traveling alone so it took me back a little. Usually, the front desk person will just said your room number is on your card.

They have done a good job of updating the rooms although our bathroom was tiny and that was the only place I could find both a mirror and plugs. They need a mirror over the desk like area with plugs for hair tools. Do NOT drive a taller vehicle up to the check in area. 6 feet is the maximum height that will fit in the lower garage. We had to do a very tight turn around, check in and unload and then move our vehicle to the parking garage behind the hotel. There were hotel access doors on the upper level, two sets of manual doors which makes it very cumbersome for taking luggage in and out. There is a fridge in the room and a coffee maker that takes those teabag type coffee servings. Don’t waste your time, it was awful. VERY LIMITED hours to get coffee and/or food in the lobby area. I think it ends at 10AM. No complimentary coffee is available, or water. Ample place to place your luggage on “racks” inside the room. No personal safe in the room. Good place for a quick one night stay with plans to eat all meals out. Don’t bring valuables you will not keep in your possession at all times, such as a iPad or even controlled medications because of the lack of a safe. Staff was very polite, elevators were roomy and quick. We did not use the outside area or fitness center.

Unfortunately our room was sub par as far as cleanliness. I told the front desk after checking in that the toilet seemed dirty with some type of residue on the base and floor. Although they apologized nothing was done . The next morning checking out I mentioned it again and said no one followed thru with us. They just kinda shrugged it off. The hotel staff was nice overall and the hotel itself is an actual 4 star but the lack of care or attention to our room situation left me with a bad experience.

I was very disappointed as my friend Ian’s I had adjoining rooms, a king and a 2 queen. I was staying a day later than her and for some reason the staff could not give me the double and her the king. I stayed in the double and was forced to switch for my last night. I left a sweatshirt on the bed (absolutely positive) in the double and alerted the front desk that same day. The room had been serviced but no sweatshirt was returned. It did not disappear on its own but minimal effort was made to find it. There were only 3 places it could be..with the cleaning staff, the new guest in that room or with the linens. I still gave yet to resolve this. Very unsatisfactory and will not be booking another Marriott for my travels.

The entire staff was amazing with the exception of one man behind the counter (and I think he was tge manager). He seemed to have a chip on his shoulder because I booked through \"a third party\" and was canceling one night of our 2 night reservation. I didn't realize how hilly the area was which was quite difficult getting around with a wheelchair. I've been charged for both nights and now need to fight that.

Perfect location to stay for moving my daughter out of her dorm. The hotel was clean and room was very nice. My only issue was the street noise but I should have expected that with hotel on one of the main streets. Overnight was fine but early morning you start hearing cars/motorcycles/trucks. Maybe less noise if your room isn’t facing the main street (I believe it’s Assembly).

Room was facing the Main Street. It was very loud outide with the train whistle blowing late at night and the sounds of cars speeding down the street. We were in a room with an adjoining room. The neighbors were very loud and the doors allowed a lot of noise into our room. It was very difficult to sleep well.

Don't stay there.

The room and staff were absolutely wonderful. Honestly, I would’ve given this five stars except for the windows that make up the entire side of the hotel must be older, and it is very noisy from the outside. The staff did have earplugs available for everyone, which was lovely. The staff and cleanliness of the room which seems to have just been redone could not have been better.

Hotel was in a great location and walkable for visiting USC, however seemed dated and bare minimum from an accommodations standpoint. The staff were friendly and helpful and it was nice to have the bar/breakfast options for quick bites. We've stayed in much nicer Courtyards so were expecting a bit more in the rooms. If you're there for a night, it's fine, but cheaper hotels in the area are just as convenient, newer, and nicer. The parking garage was very tight, so if you stay there, and especially if you have a larger car, recommend parking on the upper deck for easier in and out.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHEN I SAW THE COMPLIMENTARY EAR PLUGS AND THEN THE NOISE MACHINE WHEN I WENT IN THE ROOM THAT SOMETHING WAS AMISS.
AND, WHEN THE FRONT DESK SAID THAT \"SOME PEOPLE ARE LIGHT SLEEPERS, SO WE OFFER THESE AMENITIES,\" I SUPPOSE I SHOULD HAVE RUN.
BUT THE PLOT OF THE STORY IS THAT A TRAIN THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW BLARES ITS WHISTLE FOR 1 MINUTE EVERY 15 MINUTES AFTER 11 AT NIGHT UNTIL ABOUT 2-ISH. THE FRONT DESK GUY TOLD ME THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVEY NIGHT, BUT IF IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE THERE, IT IS A BUMMER.
DON'T BOOK THROUGH A 3RD PARTY SITE BC THEN YOU CANNOT HAGGLE FOR ANY MONEY BACK.

Not the quality I expected from a Marriott. We got a room with a connecting door and could clearly hear what was going on in the next room. When it was dark, you could see light under the door, so no sound proofing or privacy. Pictures are deceiving for the room, no fan in the bathroom. Eh, it served it's purpose. Pool area needs some work. Pictures are slightly deceiving.

Gouging me seven dollars for a plain bagel and five dollars for a cup of coffee in the morning is just obscene. You should think very much about small things like that that won’t cost you much money that just look like price gouging.

First room had wet carpet. Moved to a room behind the elevator and stayed the night but could hear it making a squeaking sound all early morning. Moved again but the room had a bad smell and a clogged toilet that they couldn’t fix and finally moved us to a room that had no issues. The staff was great and very helpful. I’m thinking this was just bad luck but it was a pain to move that many times.
