We're going to see UM play UNC. What's the closest, nice hotel to the arena?

Look it up on Google maps then search Hotels Nearby. Then look up the hotels on Tripadvisor. Easy.

Thanks, but I already tried that. Perhaps I'm geographically challenged, but I'm still unsure of where to book. I was hoping someone who was more informed than I am could offer a suggestion.

Yeah, that is what I'm thinking as the closest from memory. The U is my alma mater but I graduated in 2004 so I'm not sure what's sprung up since then (for example back then it was just called the Convocation Center lol!) It's a very residential area surprisingly so I'm not sure how many hotels are close by. The Holiday Inn is just across the street b/c that's where overflow students that didn't get a dorm room were placed.

University of Miami is in Coral Gables, Fl. The nicest hotel in Coral Gables is probably the Biltmore.

Thanks. I'll check it out. .2 miles is great.

That's what I was finding, when I was searching on my own. We actually drove by there & didn't see anything. I knew the DIS would have someone with knowledge in the area.

Thanks. I'll check into Biltmore too. It's nice to have a place to start researching.

Ehhhhh pricey is an understatement.

That's good to know in advance, so there's no sticker shock.
