Location was great but would prefer the ability to control the temp of the room
Location was great, room was comfortable
I did not care for the a/c not working, when we arrived our room was 76 so we opened the window and requested a fan. We had to leave the window open for the duration of our trip to keep the room comfortable which made it noisy and difficult to sleep.

Enjoyable
Convenient and clean. Great room size, liked it was on the small size with no big lobby. Not crowded at all.
Night mgr was unfriendly and refused to get me a blanket. Unacceptable for mgmt to refuse such a simple request. She said she would not go down stairs or wherever to get it and no other employees around. This was 10:00 pm on a Friday evening.

Location, location, other great stuff that fits the location
The locations and the view absolutely cannot be beat. The staff were also very helpful, the bed was very comfortable, and the entire facility was clean and well-kept. Driving and parking might be tricky for an out-of-towner, but a taxi/Uber will get you to/from the airport in maybe 20 minutes, And the central location places you directly on the Freedom Trail and maybe a 15 minute walk to just about anything.
This isn't only specific to this hotel: I have no idea why hotels in the last 5 years or so are putting sliding barn doors on their bathrooms. I could hear approximately 90% of what my partner was doing in there.

Excellent location, but beware some staff were not friendly and helpful.
Location is excellent. We stayed 4 nights and wanted to explore the city. That’s we picked AKA even it was pricey, $300 per night. We really love the location. As for the service, it was two sides. The evening shift front office staff were very friendly with customer focus oriented. The social hour staff, for both evenings, two different staffs, one male and one female, both were excellent and cheerful.
What made us to lower the evaluation score was the day time front office staff, very disappointed. For twice, one morning, before we went out my wife asked for a bottle water but rejected. And one afternoon when we came back home, outside was 91 degrees, we were exhausted and heated. We asked the staff for water. The young woman said no, because water was only for give to people when they check in. We explained and said we stayed here for four nights, and we really feel tired and wanted take rest in the lobby. She said she had no authority, need to check with her manager. The manager just sit next to her with phone on her hand and listened, but not talking. The young woman stood inside the counter, and we three standing outside of the counter, we waited for 10 minutes, the manager just pretend didn’t see or aware of anything. We finally gave up. What kind of the working attitude and customer service the manager was! Very disappointed for staff like her working in a 4-star hotel.

The location is great. The service are good. When I need microwave and plates, they sent them to the room.
The bathroom has no lock. There are two shower heads and it took me a while to figure out switch to the main one. Wasn’t able to figure out turning water colder. The staff are not so friendly, when I ask questions about the laundry facilities, they are not so patient.

Great hotel, great location, thin walls walls, hot rooms
Great location. Almost all the staff was very nice. One front desk attendant was not helpful but the valets were great. Cool room
it was super super loud in the morning. Also the AC wouldn't go below 65 and it was sweltering in the room, so sleeping past 7 was impossible. But I did like the place really.

The hotel was fine.
I am not happy there was no place to park and valet parking was $65.00. This thus is a detailed we should of been told about. I have never stayed at a place that was going to charge a person 65.00 to park. Not good. They would not even give me a discount. So had to walk over a mile for my car.

Had a great stay. I will recommend to others.
The location is excellent. An easy what to quite a bit of the freedom trail. The subway is nearby for trips to further locations.
I would have liked a coffee machine in the room.
