My stay at the Courtyard Columbia Downtown was a mix of positives and negatives. While I appreciated the cleanliness of my room and the comfortable bed (which made for a restful sleep), there were some significant drawbacks. I experienced odd wake-up calls at 4 AM that disrupted my rest, along with loud noises from a train nearby and construction work. Overall, the hotel's excellent location near USC was a major plus, but consistency in service left a bit to be desired.
