Beloved AKA

I have used AKA in New York and was very satisfied, so of course I reserved AKA in Philadelphia this time. The view here was great, the room was clean, and as always, the staff was friendly. The 28th-floor lounge and gym were also nice. It was almost a shame to leave after staying only one day.

👎 Disliked
  • • It seemed like the bedroom lights were out and the TV remote had no batteries, so I had to exchange them. It would have been nice if they had checked in advance.

It was right next to UPENN, and a 15-minute walk from the city center.
