My only complaint is the black and pink mold that was in the caulk around the bathtub. That was the first thing I noticed when I walked in and it just left me unimpressed because that is something that is so easily fixed.

Very convenient & easily walkable to the Allianz Ampitheatre. Parking was a little scary wondering if the car was going to fit, it's a very low ceiling. Bed was comfy. Shower pressure wasn't great. Breakfast was nice!

The property is a bit dumpy. There was a water leak in the lobby when we arrived with fans blowing everywhere. The bathtub had pink mold around the grout. For the price, I was hoping it would be a bit cleaner. Location was convenient, but parking was $20.
