They have the right mattress firmness and soundproofed room that we forgot we were in the middle of the city. The hotel is very close to a hospital but did not hear the sirens and had a restful and good night sleep.

Just felt mediocre. I felt awful for the Asian gentleman with glasses working today checkout Sunday morning. He was so pleasant. The rest of the check in /front desk didn’t look up . We had to everyday say, “hello.” It was so odd. Our room vanity had a burn mark on it. Okay. But seemed odd. The shades in both of our rooms were so difficult to get up and down. We felt like at any time they were going to fall. I understand the every other day service to the rooms, but than to have attitude when we ask for more towels. It was an odd experience. We were in town for work, so it was all forgettable. However, had it been a non work trip I would’ve been disappointed with this property for the rate.

Not recommend

We stayed for three nights. The room and beds were okay, but the shower was really not good. The water was not warm enough, no matter how I tried to turn it warmer. The handle was loose and not in its correct position. No closet for us to hang clothes. Actually this is okay if not for the service for breakfast we received. We ordered breakfast for 2, thinking we would get at lest something like continental breakfast, but we were given very few choices and the service was really awful. I was allergic to cheese so I had to pick croissant instead of a sandwich. I asked for 2 because the price for one was only $2 and a sandwich cost more than $8. I thought even 2 croissant would add up to only $4, which is still less than the cost for a sandwich. But I was denied. When I asked for some jam/jelly, I was denied again at first and was told "we are not supposed to give that to you". Though I did get one, I really felt hurt because I was only asking for the very basics, nothing extra at all. I have stayed in many hotels, both luxurious and basic ones, but had never received this kind of service. Even a very cheap hotel/motel would be happy to offer it to their guests. The hot water for tea was only lukewarm so I had to give up tea and get coffee. This was the very first time that I stayed in Aloft and I really don't think it was a good hotel for me to recommend.

The hotel location was excellent with a modern vibe, and the weekend DJ was fun. However, cleaning could improve—bathroom mirrors were only partially cleaned, and hair was left in several areas. The bar towel also needed attention. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and appreciated the complimentary water.
