This past weekend was my 1st time at Hotel AKA & it was wonderful! You would’ve never thought that this property used to be a holiday inn. The staff was extremely pleasant & helpful. The decor was beautiful. I think my bathroom was my favorite part lol. I had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend this property to anyone needing to stay in the area

Beautiful hotel! Great staff, clean, quiet, walk-in shower, nice coffee station, big windows, theater room, great location, wonderful linens, neat features in room, walkable restaurants. Soft towels, cozy robe, excellent mattress and pillows. Need exhaust fan in restroom. Need HVAC redone to omit noisy HVAV box at window.
