Pretty good.

This is a nice hotel. It seems new , so it is extremely clean. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. The design of the hotel rooms is a little different and small. There isn’t a designated shower room, the shower is directly across for the sink. There is a door on the toilet area with French doors. Not a lot of privacy. No big deal if I was just with my husband & I but our adult son shared the room with us

Terrible

The layout of the room is terrible. No privacy for the shower. TV channel access was brutal. Bedroom area cramped. Bathroom doors don’t lock. For $180 per night it was a total rip off. $50 would been too much. Very disappointed with the Aloft and will never stay there again.
