This hotel is the nicest hotel we’ve stayed at in awhile. It had everything you could think of, a movie theater, a gym, a restaurant, and it was close to everything in Old Town. Everyone was very professional and welcoming. We were visiting from Moseley, VA. Only stayed for a night but would definitely come back again.

This is the second time we've stayed at hotel AKA and we continue to enjoy the upscale accommodations and very friendly staff. We ate at the lounge this time and the food was delicious and then we headed up to the terrace for a quiet discussion with friends. We'll continue to patronize the hotel as we find it to be a wonderful experience each time we stay.
