Nice but...
Hotel was ok but as I was checking in I asked about being on same floore as some other family that was traveling with us,[...] fortunately she was able to work something out.[...] Finally when I was checking out, I gave my keys to the lady and sat in the lobby waiting on another party. As I was waiting the receptionist hollared ma'am you didn't pay for parking..if I didn't pat for I don't know why they would have giving me a parking pass for the time I was there. Just seemed it was one thing after another!

decent value
I was in town to visit my daughter at USC, so you can't beat the location of the Courtyard. The room was decent and the staff very polite. No complaints, other than the fact that they charge $10 to park your car, even as a paying guest.

a long walk to williams bryce stadium
the hotel was okay, but it is listed as across the street from USC. Campus wise it is in the heart of the campus, but from the football stadium it is a good mile and a half to two mile walk. A good point to know for any one wishing to do this in the future.

Extremely nice hotel room
Staff went out of their way to be helpful. Very quiet, bed was sooooooo comfortable, good rest! Breakfast buffet was delicious. My husband especially enjoyed the omelet station. Within walking distance to California Dreaming and Colonial Life Center as well as several fast food restaurants.
