The location of this hotel is not bad, and the service is also very nice. When I checked out on the last day, because it was an evening flight, there was no charge for storing my luggage at the front desk. I took a tour in the afternoon and went to the hotel to pick up my luggage and go directly to the airport. This hotel The environment is also good

Hotel is nice with up to date amenities. They do have many fees therefore the price was significantly higher than we had anticipated

Great location, room was promised as premium but was tired especially headboard which was ripped. Had to actually ask room service to clean room otherwise it wasn't done. Loud building work actually in the hotel distrupted my sleep on multiple days.

The hotel was PERFECT, can't say enough great things about it. From the frontline folks that met us at the door, to the housekeeper that kept our room together, AKA Back Bay was perfect. Everyone at his hotel was engaged in making sure we had an enjoyable stay. Special thanks to Jamie in the restaurant, and indeed Heather at the front desk, you guys along with the rest of the staff make AKA Back Bay the success that it is...We'll be back. Thanks again.

This was the sixth time I stayed at the hotel. I first was given a room that had horrible noise. I took a video of the situation, went downstairs to the front desk and was given another room (they tried to have me wait for the technician first). the new room was ok, however, as a gold status I did not get upgraded for the second time I have stayed at the hotel. The rooms are quite outdated, but understood they are in the process of renovating the rooms. We select the hotel for its location, but it's not that great value for money to be honest. It really could use an upgrade and the service was fine, but not great.

Everything about the hotel was great, clean, good staff, great coffee in the lobby...., except for the bed. It was so uncomfortable! I never complain but this was really bad, unable to get a good night sleep, I was awake more than 1/2 the night. For such a nice hotel it was very disappointing. Happy we were staying only 1 night.

Nice hotel in Back Bay. Building is a little dated, but the service was great and the bed was comfortable.
