Not one bad thing to say about me and my group’s stay at AKA Back Bay. Special shout out to Troy, Lakisha, Chris, and Ryan for the incredible service from start to finish!

This was my first stay at Hotel aka Back Bay and it will not be my last. The staff made me feel at home from my arrival through my week long stay. Chris at the door was super friendly and the staff accommodated my every need. The location is perfect. Great places to eat are within blocks of the hotel (Flour Bakery & Cafe is the spot!) and if you want to have some fun, Newberry, China Town, the Commons & downtown are all right around the corner. I had a premium queen and it was adequately spacious. My room did not have an amazing view but it was super comfortable and quiet, I slept like a baby. The bathrooms are modern and chic with good lighting for shaving or makeup. I had a fantastic stay. I’ve been to quite a few hotels in back bay, this one is my favorite.
