Notre séjour de 3 nuits passées au AKA Boston Common s'est bien passé, malgré les petits inconvénients rencontrés. Le personnel est souriant et serviable, cependant pour le prix payé pour la chambre, celui-ci n'a pas rencontré nos attentes, hormis la situation géographique idéale, à côté de la station de métro et du parc. Nous avions payés pour une chambre lit king à l'étage supérieur - vue ville, qui s'avérait être face au batiment voisin en brique, sans vue. La chambre était d'une superficie raisonnable, mais les meubles était endommagés, sans parler de la salle de bain avec des accessoires rouillés et un bain douche taché. La chambre n'a pas de cafétière incluse, le service étant offert à la réception le matin. Le site web de réservation ne mentionnait pas qu'il y avait des rénovations à partir de 6h30 le matin, que nous entendions même au 12e étage. Il n'y a pas de stationnement inclus dans le coût de la chambre. Il y en a un de disponible avec valet au coût de 65$ par jour. Nous avons apprécié la ville de Boston somme tout.

This hotel is a very good option for everyone visiting Boston. I book my hotels based on location and this is in the perfect spot. The meeting point to start the tours of the freedom trail (ths State House) is a few steps away and shopping area and cafés are two blocks away. The metro station is across the street, and the area is quiet and safe.
