Valet was too busy on his phone when we arrived to notice we were there for a while. Check-in clerk was not friendly at all. He appeared annoyed and didn’t even offer water that the other clerks were offering to other customers checking in.

Impeccable stay at AKA. Clean, sizable rooms, excellent bathroom, delicious breakfast and fast courteous service. A gem. Close to the Amtrak station but on the other side so you don’t really see it. Would love to stay here again in Boston.
