Lovely staff at AKA
The hotel was lovely. Very clean and the staff very accommodating. Christopher Che took very good care of our luggage while we toured around Boston. He’s a very kind gentleman.

Great stay and location.
First experience with this chain. Won't be the last. Loved the location and history of the building (former Boston police headquarters). Check-in was effortless. Front desk was very friendly and welcoming. Room was attractively decorated--size about what you expect for Boston. The Back Bay location meant it was easy for us to get around, either on foot or to anywhere else after a short walk to the T. As for food and beverage, we only had cocktails--using a $100 Amex credit. Restaurant prices are on the high side, even for the area. Paying $23 for eggs and has browns doesn't cut it, and that's without coffee, tax and tip, so you're then verging on $40. That's too much. Instead, we ate breakfast at Tatte (a short walk over to Clarendon Street) and Flour Bakery (basically behind the hotel). For less than $40 you can get breakfast (and coffee) for two. Aside from that, more than happy to return. And I suspect we will.
