    Comfy beds, crisp sheets and a lounge area in the room. Modern decor and marble-lined bathroom. The urban view and excellent service. Had free Wi-Fi throughout the property. Unbeatable location; extremely friendly and excellent staff. Again, walking distance to a grassy 1.25-acre park.

    We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The location was perfect for us, just a short ride away from the center of the city. The staff was incredibly accommodating and the room service, dry cleaning, and shuttle service added extra convenience to our stay. The room amenities, including the kitchen and terrace, were top-notch. The leisure facilities, like the spa & wellness center and indoor swimming pool, were refreshing and relaxing. We highly recommend this place for anyone visiting.

    All in all, we recommend this hotel to everyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

    My stay at AKA University City was simply amazing. The view from the room was breathtaking and the amenities were top-notch. The pool and outside terrace were a great added bonus. The location was perfect for attending the Made in America Festival, being just a 15-minute walk away. After a long day at the festival, it was so nice to come back to a peaceful and relaxing environment. I had a fantastic experience at AKA University City and would highly recommend it.

I also loved the convenience of the grocery shopping and shuttle service. The room amenities were excellent, with heating and air conditioning to keep me comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the terrace with garden furniture, perfect for relaxing and taking in the stunning views. The dining options, including the restaurant and bar/lounge area, were fantastic. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making my stay even more enjoyable.

    I highly recommend this hotel for families.

    The hotel was clean and we had a beautifully decorated room. We only stayed 3 nights, even so the staff was willing to help - ticked all the boxes for us. The property had a perfect location only a short distance to a grassy 1.25-acre park. This family-friendly hotel was 600 feet from the subway station. Everything was simply first-class.
