Watch out for the fees
The bed was comfortable. The air/heat unit was rather noisy. There was little room in the bathroom to put out or store personal toiletries, there were no hooks in the bathroom on which to hang wet towels or a bathrobe, the coffee machine didn’t work. Overall, it was fine for the two days I was there. Good location. Regarding the fees, there were way too many and the valet parking fee per night was outrageous.

Room was so small, you literally turned around and bumped into one another. No amenities in the bathroom outside of shampoo and conditioner and 1 small bar of soap for 2 days. Continuous construction on Saturday and Sunday beginning at 6:45am with loud beeping all day long. Hotel should NOT book these rooms knowing this. In all fairness, they did comp our dinner and breakfast due to the lack of sleep. The Berkeley Restaurant on the ground floor is very good.There is no lobby to speak of other than a few chairs and now understand that this building was originally the police headquarters. We chose it for the location but based on price, there are many far superior hotels in the area. Would not stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at AKA Back Bay for 3 nights from Oct 16 - Oct 19, 2024. There were road works on the street where our room faced (Room 732) that persisted till 10 pm on all 3 days but was the worst on Fri when it continued on till 11 pm, with intermittent jack hammering! We had activities booked for Thurs, Fri and Sat that started early each morning, which meant we had to turn in early each night before. The road works unfortunately made our sleep quality poor on all 3 nights. We are aware that this is an old hotel and is still undergoing renovations. Our room was supposedly a renovated room but it appears that the windows have not been - they are thin and definitely not sound-proof. Regrettably, it wasn't a good experience for us at AKA Back Bay.
