FABULOUS stay!

I took my mother on a trip to Asheville to see a comic and chose Aloft initially for the price and the view. After staying I realized this hotel may be one of the nicest, friendliest, most accomodating hotels I have ever stayed in. We LOVED it! So clean and comfortable. We will stay here again!!

Wonderful Hotel & Very Clean ;)

Amazing Stay ;) I had an issue the day I Checked in with a guy who asked me for Money as I was walking inside to Check in ( I had bags in my hands & My dog on a Leash ) . I told him I had NO cash but he told me well there is an ATM Inside ??Ugh …I ignored him & Went inside . Later on I was at the bar Ordered a drink & Food when I heard someone Saying Hello to me I turned around & Saw it was that same guy ? He sat at the bar next to me & Asked the Bartender for a Glass of Water but I couldn’t tell the bartender what was going on in front of him . I was Very uncomfortable to Say the least l He then Asked the bartender for the bathroom . When he walked Away I told him what happened & That I didn’t feel safe ! Bartender asked him to leave . When I went outside about an hour later to walk my dog he was waiting for me Outside ??I ran back inside the Hotel . As a Solo traveler & A Female I didn’t feel safe . Besides this incident My room was Very clean & I enjoyed my Stay ;)

The physical hotel is actually quite nice and modern. I will warn you that just about everyone staying there has a dog. And the dogs talk to each other through the walls. The walls are very thin, and so are the windows so you can hear everything going on in the very busy street outside. This includes young men throttling their vehicles at all hours, in some sort of strange show of masculinity. Which makes the dogs bark again. Also, society has evolved to wear people think it’s acceptable to walk through the halls on speakerphone at midnight. And you guessed it, that’ll make the dogs bark. I love dogs, but this was a lot of dogs for a hotel with thin walls. If they figure out how to soundproof it, everything would be much better. The dry bar shampoo and conditioner is amazing. I appreciate the good selection of tea. You can definitely walk everywhere and I got more steps than I normally do. If you’re just going to walk everywhere, pay the city parking rate and you’ll save money. I also want to commend the pool area for being awesome. They probably need more lounge chairs, but it’s a small space. The view is completely worth it regardless.
