Our room was not very clean. Both live and dead bugs inside. A handicap accessible shower chair in the bathroom that was very dirty. The toilet wouldn’t flush. Stacks of mattresses and bed frames in the back of bldg. urine in the elevator.

DO NOT STAY HERE! I reserved at the Gallus Stadium Hotel for a USC football weekend. The location was very close to the stadium and the price seemed reasonable compared to other hotels for a busy weekend. Other ratings seemed decent. While our expectations were low, the Gallus turned out to be the lowest of the low (I would award zero stars if it was an option). When checking in, the lobby was cluttered and messy. The parking lot had a lot of trash and debris, along with faded plastic flowers. A sign was posted with a number to call to check in. The front desk clerk (who was also cleaning rooms) came right away, assigned a room that was ready. That room smelled like smoke. I summoned the front desk again, another person responded and got me a room that didn’t smell. The view out the window showed the other, even messier side of the parking lot. We discovered the in-room refrigerator wasn’t working, reported it to the front desk, and it was never corrected (so we wasted food as a result). The safety latch on the door from the room to the hallway had one of two metal supports missing and probably wouldn’t have done the job if needed in an intruder situation. The entrance from the lobby to the 1st floor hallway was gross, with the door to the laundry room open, showing damaged walls and floors. We had to ask for fresh towels twice on the second day of our stay. Finally, and beyond the hotel’s control, the use of weed by guests smelled up the entire hotel.

Convenient to downtown, bed was comfortable, breakfast wasn’t what you expect… ideal for a one night stay that you aren’t spending a lot of time at the hotel.

Do not stay here!!! Whatever reviews are on this site are not legitimate because this place was horrible! So dirty in my daughter’s room that they had to ask for a new one because there was bottle caps all over the place, dirty sheets, a hole in the wall, pee on the toilet, the list goes on. Our room wasn’t as bad, but definitely the type of place you don’t want to take your shoes and socks off to walk around on the carpet. The elevator snd hallways smelled of pot the whole time and almost closed on us several times it was so unsafe. There is no soundproofing between rooms and we heard every single thing from the hallway and adjoining rooms constantly. The whole facility as a whole is worn down and dirty and in ill repair. The breakfast is laughable, there is dry cereal, and milk and yogurt, coffee machine was broken, only orange juice the first day but not the rest of our time… Just plan on eating at McDonald’s or Starbucks every morning. Or just do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else!

Mold in shower and elsewhere. Had to request towels and soap upon check in even then did not get wash clothes. Breakfast? A joke. Only had yogurt and waffles available and coffee was terrible. Have stayed here every year but each year it gets worse. Will not return
