The building was under construction and unsightly. No lobby to speak of on the ground floor. The heat and air was non functional in the room. Maintenance looked at it and suggested we turn it off to get it to work. The sink drained extremely slow and the toilet was chipped/dirty. Protests were going on outside of the building with banging of drums and chanting. Skip this place.

Staff was great. Remembered my name instantly and greeted me and my girlfriend everytime we came in and even offered to take pictures before our date. Part of the first floor was under partial construction but all the workers were very polite. Parking is a little expensive but super convenient due to the tight soundings of the building. Definitely will be coming back on my next trip.

It’s under massive construction so there was really no lobby or gym. Still paid the “destination fee” though. They probably should have waived that for now.

I arrived early- around 12:30pm and was greeted by builders and noise in the lobby (this wasn’t advertised)! My room was ready, but they wanted to charge me $75 for early check in (bearing in mind I was paying $650/night for my 3 night stay), I thought this was a bit rich- especially since the room was ready!!! Eventually they agreed to waive the charge and allowed me to check in. My room smelled badly of paint- but I cranked up the aircon and opened the windows. I then decided to go to the gym- it was being renovated, so I had to walk 10mins down the road to Equinox- whilst it is likely much better than the hotel gym- it was still incredibly awkward, and for a few reasons, I wanted the convenience of a gym in the hotel- not 10mins walk away. Finally- on the day of check out, there was strike at the neighboring hotel that started at 6am- not the wake up call I was expecting- and it lasted all the way through check out. In addition, the cleaner attempted to access my room twice ahead of checkout at 11am. I felt like I was being rushed out of the hotel! I probably wouldn’t have minded was I not paying $650/night- but I felt like it was an imposition. All in all, it wasn’t a great experience, and I won’t be back.

Great experience
I would definitely stay again. The staff are so wonderful! They were so helpful with everything. The rooms could use a bathroom update. The beds were soooo comfortable and the pillows were perfect. It’s in such a great location and the bar on the 2nd floor has so much charm. They are still under construction in the lobby which was unfortunate that we couldn’t spend time in there. I’m sure it will be gorgeous when it’s finished.

The noise was unbelievable. Doors slamming all throughout the night and the walls are paper thin. The room itself doesn't look like it was put together very well. The bathroom counter top is barely holding on and wiggles when used. You can see where whoever painted the room did a horrible job and there's paint strewn across other areas. The bathroom tiles look like a toddler put them together and the sealant around the tub is a complete mess. This hotel should take pride in their establishment, but clearly does not.

Beautiful rooms with sophisticated furnishings, and thoughtful amenities. Staff is very helpful and professional. The food in the only restaurant onsite was marvelous. The restaurant was also very attractive and had a beautiful bar. On a different note, be mindful that the Car Valet service provided by the hotel ends at 11pm, so if you need your car late at night you will not be able to retrieve it and conversely, there will be no one to park it in a secure location overnight. I was told I could leave my car in the valet area, but that resulted in my car being “keyed” overnight, and am still waiting for LAZ Parking to answer my emails. There is a three block stretch just south of the hotel which can be a little dicey at night, but is very friendly by day. There are several universities in the surrounding areas. All in all I would recommend this hotel for its attractiveness, cleanliness and staff professionalism.

The Best Stay We've Ever Had!
We LOVED Hotel AKA Boston Common! We've never had finer customer service, and we travel fairly often. We were there for our 10 year anniversary and Calvin Cherry, the Assistant Front Office Manager, made our stay so special! He gave us champagne to celebrate and asked after us every day when we would come down to explore the city. He gave excellent recommendations for restaurants around the city as well. The room was clean and the maid service was top notch! Thank you, Hotel AKA, for a wonderful first trip to Boston!
