This is a great hotel in a safe area and pretty much in the middle of everything you would want to visit in the city. It’s quiet and has a restaurant but I did have brunch there and it wasn’t very good, so I would skip the food. The room is a little small and bed is low. They have a couch and a desk that takes up too much room and only one drawer. We were there for 3 days and had to live out of our suitcase, it didn’t make sense. They did just renovate a year ago so I don’t expect a lot of changes but the storage is an issue. Bathroom is nice and bedding was soft.

I really loved my stay at AKA Downtown, so I was excited to try AKA Back Bay — but it ended up being a bit disappointing. The location is great, but my standard room was very small and felt a bit dated. For the high price, I really expected more. On top of that, the street noise was a bout annoying during the night.

The staff not one time said hey how are you today or anything whenever we came in. It would be different if they had people at the desk but they weren’t. As we were leaving for the airport interesting of saying would you guys like someone to get your bags outside for you they watched us drag them down the stairs. I am also in a boot so it’s a little hard for me to walk so it would’ve been nice if I was asked if need help
