2/10 Poor

Not satisfied

When we go to the hotel around 4:45-5:00 to check in. The front desk worker said the room was not ready and could not give us a time to how long it would take. We waited around 30 minutes to get the keys to our room. When leaving the hotel the next morning, when walking out of our room there was 4-5 housekeepers standing in the hallway talking very loudly and laughing loudly. We could hear it from down the hall in our room.

First room when we walked in but we did get another room
Wendy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was friendly and responsive. The humidity level in the room was so high that the carpet felt damp. Great location for visiting USC.
Kimberly, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I like that it was close to downtown and to USC. The room was clean and comfortable. There was a facility to do my laundry and to work out and to swim.
Leigh, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

I’m surprised Hilton has their name on this hotel-it is awful. The pool was closed for “maintenance.” The electronic locks coming inside from the parking lot are not operational- you have to walk around the block to the main entrance, in a bad area of town to enter. Locals visit the property at night and use the outside grills and have gatherings- it’s a mess! There were no toiletries inside the shower, we asked for replacements, front desk said she was trying to have some one bring them but only one person was able to do that! LOUD street noise ALL night! This is a horrible hotel, stay away! i never leave bad reviews!
Ashley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay
Devonte, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The pool was closed for maintenance unfortunately. Apparently it has been out for over 5 months. We also got charged just to sit down in the dining area which I found to be absurd. The establishment itself is very well maintained, but lacked in other areas. Will not stay here again.
Michael, 3-night trip

Had a perfect stay. Everything was great from the staff to the room

Mitchell, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was quite basic and everything felt very old. It was clean, which we appreciated, but honestly, I expected more for the price. Maybe it’s just because it’s a very small town with limited service options. We stayed one night with our child on the way to New York — it was okay for a stopover. The breakfast was very minimal.
