This place was great! Location is great the neighborhood is up and coming and a 10 min walk to the stadium. Publix and Starbucks on the corner. They are sticklers about noise and cameras just FYI noise level machines are also on sight! This was a little uncomfortable for me as I felt like I was being watched all the time. Place is comfortable for a party of 4 we were 6 and it’s was very tight! There were only 5 towels for a party of 6! We washed towels twice to accommodate everyone. Other than those few things the place is great. ##### Jenna M.
