“Spacious Back Bay stay, sparse extras”
Hotel AKA Back Bay is a spacious, newer-design Boston hotel in a great spot — seven minutes' walk to the bustling blocks and under fifteen to sights and theatres, comfortable clean rooms, a nice restaurant, and convenient transit nearby. It lacks amenities though — little lounge or hangout space — and service only rates okay; one breakfast served a housefly in the honey area (the meal was comped). Street-facing windows get night noise and the air conditioning runs loud.
