We stayed in a 2bedroom suite here for 21 nights from Nov to Dec. The suite has 2 spacious bedroom with a King Size each, 2 bathrooms, a well appointed living and dining space. The Living room and bedrooms all has cable tv and DVD players. Washer, Dryer, Dishwasher, Oven, Microwave, Stove, good size fridge, all provided in the suite! There is also Free Wifi in every suite, even though it didn't work in our original suite.
We were originally in Suite #803, and had quite a problem with the water heater.. there were 4 of us in the suite but only one get to have warm shower, the others had to deal with cold showers in winter.. Brrrrr.... or go to bed without 1 (not something we're used to). We had to call the front desk every night for the 1st couple of nights about the heater and someone will come to 'reset' the heater.
Finally after the 3rd/ 4th nights, we decided the next morning that we need to have a different suite, spoke to the front office and they promptly put us in suite #1003 that night. No more problem hence forth, hot showers for everyone in the family and wifi works well too.
The location of Aka White House is great. 5mins walk to Faragut West Metro and less than 10mins walk to Farugut North Metro. Across the road from Starbucks and Corner Bakery(closes at 4pm on weekdays and closed on weekends). McDonald's and Teaism is also a short walk away, the stay at AKA White House does not come with Breakfast, but the kitchenette in the suite is fully equipped and one can easily whip up a simple meal, or we can simply cross the road to corner bakery for a delicious meal.
Coming out of the hotel to our left and walking about 5mins brings us to Founding Farmers! We have had many delicious meals there (reservations recommended).
Overall, we were MORE than pleased with our accommodation at AKA White House, the suite: impeccable, location: convenient, the staff: warm & helpful, especially the Manager Ms. Toni. There is no concierge, but if you need help.. the staff are always more than happy to assist.
So, to Toni and all staff at Aka White House.. Thank you for a lovely time. My family and I really enjoyed our stay and will certainly return to Aka again. Hereof in the other locations.
The Tan family.
Room Tip: Do not take Suite #803, the wifi and hot water does not work there.
