I couldn't find the room darkening blinds so I asked for a $28 eye mask. I wished they would've mentioned that the blinds were not easy to find since that was quite pricey. I also wished the fridge had better space for my own items. Very noisy on a Saturday morning.

I needed an accessible room, however, forgot to book one in advance. Nate, who helped us last year (and remembered!), really took care of me by searching for any available accessible room. However, there were none available. So, he gave me an upgrade. After spending one night in the upgraded room with a tub, I realized it would be easier to switch to a room with a standup shower. (I’m a double above the knee amputee, and when I take my legs off at night, I have accessibility issues.) I was easily switched to a room with a standup shower. I also asked for an extra chair so that I could access the sink, and Nate delivered it personally. Nate's personal touch made the stay more welcoming. he is definitely a model for others to follow.

Staying at AKA

The room and bed were very comfortable. I appreciate the extra hooks in the bathroom. I did not use it but I liked the idea of the steamer over an iron. I liked that there was a fridge but was unable to put my left over Osso Bucco in the fridge because of all the mini bar pay drinks.

My family was there for a brief stay. We arrived at around noon and just planned on storing our luggage but the staff were able to promptly get us into rooms that were ready. The staff were extremely hospitable. Joseph and the young lady working with him were delightful. The room was spacious and clean and the location is outstanding as it is near the freedom trail and many of the historic landmarks. I couldn’t be happier with our stay and would definitely book this property again for a future stay.
