Summary: The rooms at AKA are perfect. The only hotel I’ve stayed in that comes close, in my opinion, is Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City — though AKA has a slight edge, thanks to its separate bathroom and kitchen setup. The television setup takes a bit of getting used to. It’s not the standard system most are familiar with. I even downloaded a $6.99 app called Screen Mirroring in an attempt to watch the shows I normally enjoy, but I wouldn’t recommend it — it didn’t work and felt like a waste of money. The most memorable part of my stay was the 28th floor, which we started calling the “Paradise Floor.” It features a fantastic pool (though it could use a jacuzzi), a business center, and a ton of amenities — but the real standout for me was the cinema room. You need to contact the person managing the floor to book a time slot. For me, that was Hailey, who went above and beyond — truly a gracious and helpful host. The cinema experience was definitely the highlight of my stay. Overall, AKA is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a relaxing escape from your usual routine. It offers everything you need to unwind without ever needing to leave the hotel — but without making you feel confined to your room either.

Summary: The rooms are equipped with an microwave oven, refrigerator, washing machine, dryer, detergent, coffee machine, bathrobes, etc. This is the best hotel for long-term stays. The hotel is just 2blocks from the Amtrak station（30th Street Station）. You can take a bus to the City Hall. Walkable to the University City. I was able to spend a comfortable day. Thank you.

Summary: I think the property is great in many ways but dropped the ball in a few ways like the key cards taking forever to open a door or the door to my apartment taking forever to close and lock (safety wise it’s a problem).

Summary: A very clean and spacious two bedroom apartment with a lovely panoramic view of the city. There’s only maid service if you stay 7 days tho. The breakfast at the cafe was delicious and service was friendly rho.
