Cute downtown hotel. We walked to dinner. Looks like USC is very close too. Large double queen room, electronic shades to block out the sun. Large walk in shower with decent water pressure. Not a fan of the barn door style door for the bathroom, but very minor thing. Very friendly and helpful staff from the valet to the front desk.
