The worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Barely one

Perfect。

The room is quite nice, the space is large, very comfortable, and the surrounding area is safe. The tableware and pots are fully equipped, and the service is good, but it lacks necessary toiletries.

The night view is charming! Great location! If we forgot to bring our suitcase, we were reminded to go back and get it! I will choose to stay here next time! My family is all satisfied. The parking lot is very crowded. Fortunately, a car came out.

This hotel is great. It is spacious, comfortable, and the decoration is very sophisticated and has a sense of design. Recommended.
17.10.2023 Guest
Facilities: Complete facilities, very new
Hygiene: It is clean and tidy. American waiters will not take the initiative to clean the room and disturb your rest.
Environment: The environment is first-class, very close to Penn State and the city center, with convenient transportation and good scenery.
Service: Good service attitude, polite greetings, and not excessively intrusive

The room is in a very good location, a serviced apartment with a kitchen, spacious and bright. Highly recommended.

I would love to leave a 12 star review if possible. It was my wife's birthday and I wanted to do something special for her. The staff were extremely helpful in accommodating my request which made this my wife's best birthday ever. Room was clean, the views were beautiful and the location was close to everything. Anytime I come to Philly I am staying here. Forget about 4 seasons or whatever else is out there and stay with AKA.

WORST LEASING EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!! DO NOT SIGN LEASE WITH THEM!!!!

1. They will not give your deposit back! They always took an unreasonable amount of money ($800-$1000) after your lease ends saying that they needed extra cleaning. It happened to me and several other tenants. Even tho we provided them photo proofs clearly showing our apts were thoroughly cleaned. They won’t listen and always have excuses!!!!

2. A horrible experience with their management team left me SEVERE mental issues. I lived with my dog who’s an emotional support animal but they forced me to remove my dog from their building and never come in ever because of an accident. I was trying to negotiate with them and move out with my dog but they said they’ll charge me triple of my monthly rent for breaking the lease. So I had to send my dog to someone else until my lease ends and that made me SUFFER SEVERELY.

No one here cares about you they only think about how to charge you more money : )
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
