    Comfy beds, crisp sheets and a lounge area in the room. Modern decor and marble-lined bathroom. The urban view and excellent service. Had free Wi-Fi throughout the property. Unbeatable location; extremely friendly and excellent staff. Again, walking distance to a grassy 1.25-acre park.

    My stay at AKA University City was simply amazing. The view from the room was breathtaking and the amenities were top-notch. The pool and outside terrace were a great added bonus. The location was perfect for attending the Made in America Festival, being just a 15-minute walk away. After a long day at the festival, it was so nice to come back to a peaceful and relaxing environment. I had a fantastic experience at AKA University City and would highly recommend it.
