The AKA White House is 2 blocks from the White House, Quiet, well appointed rooms with excellent amenities. The decor is great, the rooms clean and comfortable. Melody Short on the front desk was excellent, and provided excellent recommendations for food and access to public transport. Two small gripes: a) The closest grocery store is a 20 minute walk, and... more

We stayed at the AKA in May for our first trip to D.C. Overall, this was a very comfortable respite from our otherwise whirlwind tour of the City. Location: The location of this hotel was great for us. It is about 1 1/2 blocks away from the White House. We got in late the first night, and walked over to... more

I often travel to DC on business, but this trip was for pleasure, and my friend and I wanted a suite. What an excellent value!! Gracious staff, beautiful rooms, and excellent linens. Metro within just a few blocks, Corner Bakery a block away, and a Borders Books within a few minutes walk. We stopped at a grocery store on the... more

While the location was adequate and the rooms nice with a kitchen, the service was repeatedly and shockingly bad. Error after error was made. We couldn't even get them to clean our rooms, repeatedly having to request towels without cleaning service and bringing our trash out to the hallways ourselves. They blew reservations, concierge and guest services would not call... more

This was everything it was billed to be, with very helpful staff, great rooms, perfect for an extended stay (we had 5 days with 2 kids) because everyone can spread out. more

I stayed at this hotel during the inauguration and it impressed me in many ways. The location is perfect. You're within walking distance to the Farragut North station, the National Mall and several restaurants. CVS is 2 blocks away, Starbucks is down the street and Heidi's Brooklyn Deli is located right next door! Delicious food, by the way. I love... more

We picked the AKA for its proximity to Constitution Hall and in this it did not disappoint. On entering, it seemed worth the money, with the full kitchen and the en suite laundry, and it might have been had we been in Washington for a longer stay. But there are significant problems, some mentioned by other reviewers: Low wattage lights... more

The AKA is a beautiful place to stay. We just returned from 2 night stay in a two-bedroom, two bathroom suite. It was everything we hoped it would be. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were spacious and the staff was very nice. We were there over the holiday weekend with our 2 kids- an 8 and a 10 year... more

I stayed in a 2-bedroom 2-bath unit while attending a conference in D.C. It provided enough privacy to share with a co-worker, and had a large comfortable living room/kitchen area with free wireless and high-speed internet. We had a corner unit and appreciated the natural light and large windows (with blinds rather than curtains), though some might miss those thick... more
