Booked a queen room that wasn’t ready when we arrived. We were told we would receive a call when it was ready. Got back after 11pm to learn that there were no queen rooms left. Staff was uninterested in answering questions and put us in a room with a bed and a pullout sofa in a different hotel property that shares the building. I can’t really review the hotel because the room we had was technically in a different one.

The hotel was clean and the staff was nice. The hot water was out to the entire hotel and it would have been nice to be told this before check-in. Once I complained, they offered to refund the $13 parking fee and said I would receive free Hilton Honors points. Still waiting on the points.

The proximity to USC stadium was ideal. However the breakfast was very much microwaved, out of the box prepared and tasted as such. Even the buffet style presentation lacked effort, which was disappointing considering the cost $16+. I frequent Hilton brands across the country and was a little disappointed by comparison. Staff was polite and parking was decent however unless necessary will not be staying in the future.
