    I spent four good nights in the Beautiful King Room at AKA Alexandria. The spacious, modern decor impressed me. Unexpected charges on checkout were confusing. A wonderful experience, and I'll cherish the memory.

    A solid spot for a getaway

    This place is super nice! The staff were friendly, and I loved the vibe. Adam was awesome, making sure we were comfy. The room was spacious and modern. Had the best pastries in the cafe every morning! Just wish the valet situation was smoother—had to wait a bit. Overall, a really good experience.

    cozy atmosphere
    personalized cinema experience
    bathroom safety

    The ambiance was super cozy with the intimate dim lighting, and I loved connecting my phone to the cinema for a personal movie night. There's a lovely pool and a chill lounge area that made it easy to relax after a long day. The only hiccup was that the bathroom could use some grab bars for safety, but overall, it was a fantastic stay! 😊

    beautiful room
    thoughtful staff

    Great place for couples getaway

    The room was beautiful, and they left a cute note for our wedding anniversary. Free airport shuttle at 6 am was a lifesaver!

    It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable.

    Pleasant Stay with Noteworthy Staff

    Had a lovely experience during our brief stay. The doorman greeted us warmly, and Andrew's restaurant tips really enhanced our trip. The spacious rain shower refreshed us after a long day. Remember to check local eateries nearby instead of dining in-house for more variety!

    warm hospitality
    confusing check-in process

    A delightful surprise for my birthday

    The staff's warm hospitality made my stay exceptional. I was surprised with champagne, and the delicious dinner inspired me to linger longer.

    The check-in process was a bit confusing, and I wished for more breakfast options to enjoy on my balcony before checking out.

    fresh pastries
    check-in process
    high parking fees
    limited breakfast

    The location was perfect, with plenty of restaurants within walking distance. I loved the spacious, modern room and the beautifully furnished common areas. The freshly baked pastries and coffee in the morning were fantastic. The staff stood out—Adam was incredibly attentive and made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. Nick crafted the best cocktails and had great recommendations for food and drink. I faced a few inconveniences, including the check-in process which felt a bit disorganized. The parking fees seemed high but manageable. Breakfast options could be improved. I wished for a more substantial meal instead of just pastries. Overall, I had a lovely stay, and I look forward to returning.
