Everything was awesome!
8 / 10Excellent·May 2025
As advertised, good location with easy access to IMG by car. Unfortunately you can’t walk to the West Campus through the East campus, you have to walk down 34th to 53rd. Otherwise, good little spot to stay when visiting IMG.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
everything was as descried and as expected except the pool was closed which was a bummer because that was part of the reason i picked this place over others. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to get around
