Great spot!
Perfect spot for a visit to USC. Easy to walk all around campus. Room was comfortable and clean. Staff was amazing, especially the shuttle driver Cynthia who went out of her way to show us some things in Columbia. We will definitely be staying here again!

Was expecting for the price. I paid free breakfast because that’s what my son told me got there and yeah I guess we didn’t pay enough to get the free breakfast so very disappointed in that.
