Really enjoyed my stay. The room was extremely clean and well appointed. The staff was friendly. Check in and out was extremely easy. Parking was easy, just make sure to get your parking pass. The only slight problem is that it was hard to find. I didn't realize it was attached to the DPAC building and the Aloft sign was not easily seen. I didn't eat breakfast so I can address the food.
