This AKA location is newly remodeled within the past year. I had stayed here previously. It is a great location and convenient to Back Bay, Boston Common, and other Boston neighborhoods. Service is very friendly and accommodating. Restaurant has good food at typical hotel restaurant prices. Gym is quite small but has new equipment, and AKA guests have use of nearby Equinox health club that is fantastic. Common areas of the lobby are OK, but not very community-like (no bustling hotel lobby like some places). Recommended for people that want a nice quiet hotel with friendly service.

Every staff member from Concierge to front desk, Chris is an honorable mention because he was extremely helpful. I needed monetary change and the "Dan" (I'm not sure if it was his name because i misplaced card now) he was in beverage and bar area and he helped me be able to break change after atm. Loved the easy access via app service. And the convenience of holding luggage. The man who checked me in was also very accommodating. Would def recommend for personal, business, or family trip!
