This building is in poor condition. Our bathroom door couldn’t close. The plumbing in our bathroom requred repair and still the toilet ran our entire stay. The toilet overflowed in one room and the shower pan didn’t drain in both rooms we booked. The cinema was broken the first night we reserved but fixed for the second. Everything looks pretty on the surface and the staff were great. However, based on the mechanical problems I would not stay here again.

Pros: The staff was very friendly. There was a small connected restaurant were we had a nice breakfast, however the menu was quite limited. Large bedroom with comfortable bed and very large living room. Cons: - Parking garage is not close and it is somewhat scary to walk back to the hotel at 1 AM when the streets are deserted. During normal hours the area seems quite safe. - Blinds, but no curtains on the large bedroom window. The room never got dark at night due to lights directly outside the bedroom window. - No outlets near nightstands. - Bathroom had an extremely noisy fan that automatically turned on with the light. I moved a lamp into the bathroom to avoid the sound. - One-person small sleep sofa was in a small room in back next to the kitchen. There were about 20 HVAC compressors in the alley outside the small room. You could hear the noise from the compressors. - It is mind boggling why they don't put blackout curtains on the windows and a queen size sleep sofa in the gigantic living room (where you would not hear the HVAC compressors). - At 6:30 AM the person who was sleeping on the small sleep sofa was awakened by extremely loud trashmen. I did not hear them in the main bedroom. - Hopefully an anomaly, but there was a large glob of hardened material like cardboard molded into the bedsheet. I can't believe the person who made the bed didn't see it. Another Pro: Kitchen seemed well equipped; however I didn't use it.

Excellent location and great service
Great Philly location. Very walkable, with excellent shops, craft bars, and many top rated restaurants close by. The AKA provides hotel rooms with very small bathrooms, and larger extended stay suites. The rooms are gray and modern. Nice fridge, sink, and Nespresso coffee maker. Nice gym and cinema room for use. Front desk service was excellent and the connected bar and restaurant were also very good. The only negative is that the windows need to be washed and the bathroom corners need a god scrubbing. Sparse but comfortable for our weekend stay.
