8/10 Good

Great location. Nice place. Walkable. The parking garage elevator didn't work and the parking attendant really was driving cars through the garage like an Indy car race. Kind of dangerous.
Stuart, 1-night trip

Michael, 1-night trip

Really nice place to stay,great area ,bar etc
Drexell, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

This downtown location is great - walkable to many restaurants, shops, and the state capital. We highly recommend the free guided tour of the state capital. Check-in was easy and free street parking on the weekend saved us $40 because we did not have to use the hotel garage. The room was spacious, clean, and stylish. However, we did not sleep well due to the wall AC unit being loud and we could hear the street traffic late into the night and early in the morning.
Ly, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Was nice and seems new or at least well maintained. Downstairs lobby bathroom needs more frequent attention but we would definitely return!
TANYA, 1-night trip

A bit too industrial feel to it. Staff and service were excellent. Room was kept very clean by housekeeping.

Laura, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It was clean
Shannon, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The area was very unique with a few shopping a restaurant options within walking distance. The room was a corner room and very spacious. The room just needed some minor detail changes. Example: the bathroom light and vanity area lights up the whole room with no option to close it off. The property was overall pretty good and a comfortable stay. The staff were excellent.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property worked great for our needs. We needed to book rooms last minute due to a flight cancellation and Aloft had availability. The area was filled with dining options since it was near the USC campus. We booked two rooms and while clean, one room had a distinct smell that reminded me of the smell of dog urine. We were told that the hotel was pet friendly. They sprayed the carpet in the room which worked temporarily but the smell came back unfortunately. We were able to get through the night but they should probably get rid of that carpet or remove it for cleaning.
Tracee, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

I just didn't like the vibe and couldn't sleep at all.
Dori, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hotel, excellent location

Trendy & pretty hotel. Great location for restaurants & bars. Loved the bar in the lobby. Craft cocktails & a super nice bartender. We paid for breakfast. (Breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, oatmeal, & bagels.) The beds were very comfortable! Our a/c was a little loud but not a sleep ruiner. Room was quite large too!
