Very fun hotel. I"m not even a USC grad or fan and I thought all the details were really thoughtful and fun. The in house bar/restaurant was very solid after a long day on the road. There was an issue with their computers which made check in a bit of a pain but the staff did a great job communicating and helping and trying to sort it out.
