Real Review!! - stayed two nights , I paid through Expedia. There was no early check in so I checked in at 3. The Room was NOT CLEAN. DOG food was in the area and on the floor. Blonde/ Red hair was in the bathroom. The shower was dirty and OMG the floor was filthy!!! The room phone was not working. The AIR was not working. The HVAC system was built up with filthy. I had to open my window for fresh air. I literally went to store to buy cleaning supplies to clean their mess! Was I accommodate? NO ! It was 1 working elevator. I ask the skinny guy at the front desk with glasses about the elevator. He was just BS around as if he didn’t know about it. The line was so long just to get on it. No parking for free. No one explain parking to after the fact I paid else where to park. They don’t care at all. If I can rate it -0 I would. When ask about accommodation, the shortest person told me I had to reach out to Expedia and they will reach out to the hotel which didn’t make sense at all. I’m so glad I took pictures of the room, the vents, floor and shower. Do Not waste no money here!! Oh yes , I didn’t not receive any clean towels my 2nd day. I had to take the stairs to the front desk and ask. Which took 45 minutes to give. Remember, my room phone was not working!!

Supervisor is ghetto and unprofessional she had such a nasty attitude while addressing a concern trying to be sarcastic just rude. I see why they keep security by the check-in. I could only imagine the amount of transactions they mess up with no reason why. It's seems like everyone is trained to do something different. Be careful with valet parking they make the rules as they go which runs into discrimination issues. Be careful they will charge you for breakfast online but they don't serve it call and ask. Be careful the room type you pick out online is not a guarantee you will get it, but will still charge you for the other room type.

Aloft Mag Mile was just ok. We stayed there two nights. The beds were super average as far as comfort - same thing with the pillows. They smash down until they’re hard. The bathroom door was a slide to close door and it didn’t close all the way. You could still see inside a little. Although the shower had complimentary shampoo and body wash in pumps attached to the inside of the shower, there was no shelf in the shower to put your own travel shampoo, etc on. The ceiling was all concrete and a part of the wall was concrete - I guess they were going for some sort of industrial look but it ended up feeling like a box. It wasn’t very cozy.
