Busy and loud area. Valet and driving to and from was terrible. Hotel not fully open with very limited amenities in it or around it. New but poorly designed. Heard all sounds from busy street and in the halls. Horrible.

It was distressing to arrive at 10 PM with a full Expedia reservation in hand, yet the hotel had no record of our reservation. Fortunately, and a huge fortunately that they had a room available in a huge weekend in Boston - but at a higher price. I use Expedia quite often and this will probably be the last time since I no longer have confidence that your systems are robust enough to ensure a confirmed reservation.

The description on Expedia states the hotel is recently renovated but it is actually still being renovated. The main lobby is covered in plastic. The rooms are no different than they were 2 years ago when it was a Kimpton Hotel. Overall nice rooms and the location is amazing.

The hotel staff, from Calvin the manager, to everyone else we encountered were wonderful. Always eager to help in any way possible. Parts of the lobby were under renovation, which didn't have a negative impact on our stay, but will certainly be a bonus for guests when complete. The location was perfect for walking throughout Boston and close by many T stations.

We had an issue with a near by hotel, and ended up without a place to stay in Boston, on a busy Holiday weekend, even though we had a reservation. Not only was the AKA able to accommodate us at the last minute, but the front desk manager, Calvin greeted us with a smile when we walked in the door. He single handedly went out of his way to turn our negative situation with the "other hotel" into a positive one at the AKA. Calvin upgraded our room and gave us a bottle of wine upon checkin. This hotel is one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. The beds are extremely comfortable, the blankets are soft and the showers are nice and hot, plus we had a great view of Boston Commons Park. We will definitely be back and will recommend the AKA to family and friends.

Service, location and cleanliness is great. Only real down is that you can hear service trucks, housekeeping and elevators very clearly. A bit more soundproofing in doors and windows would be ideal for any future upgrade the hotel makes. Overall very good stay. Everyone very friendly.

Amazing lounge onsite but sadly they are closed on Sundays so we only got to enjoy once instead of both days during our stay. Property staff were extremely accommodating for early check-in and a late check-out due to our travel plans. Property is right in the heart of downtown so lots of things to see and places to eat within walking distance. Room was great... very practical layout and extremely comfortable mattress.
