Another wonderful stay at the AKA Alexandria. We have been several times and it never disappoints. The vibe of the hotel is amazing. The decor is awesome—so is the staff. The terrace is fabulous, as is the media room. The neighborhood is safe and extremely walkable. The food options are endless, including the hotel’s own bar and restaurant. As long as the level of service received stays the same, we will continue to return.

The hotel smelled great upon entrance. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and quiet. It had a minimalist zen vibe. No ice bucket in room and the ac unit inside the room was noisy. The overnight valet option is $44 but be mindful of a hidden $25 charge tacked on to that. Parking seemed limited and we were kinda forced to do the valet. The valet guys and personnel at the counter were friendly and welcoming. The location was great for Old Town, enjoyed our stay.

Everyone one was professional and courteous from the front desk staff to the bartender. The hotel is decorated with amazing art and furniture. It was so clean and tidy. The area it’s located in is peaceful and quiet with restaurants near by. I will definitely recommend this hotel.
