I was agast that the representative at the front desk could not give me a room when I walked in. He said to sit in the lobby on my phone and reserve a room online. My email address that was registered with Bonvoy was stuck in a digital nightmare and I couldn’t log onto my account. I then went onto Expedia to get my room. The entire hour the front desk rep knew I wanted and needed a room but he was simply a face hired by Aloft…to do what? Not helpful. In the morning the new representative at the front desk was amazing. Five stars for her. The housekeeping staff 5star. I witnessed other guests not happy with things but I understand that’s hearsay. If this place wasn’t right next to ACAC I wouldn’t stay here again.

Check in area not in a good location of lobby. It was “Salsa dance” night and the reception person couldn’t hear me, wasn’t attentive and was singing along with music. Didn’t offer any additional info on Hotel details for example about WiFi, parking etc.

Out of date style. Loud Latin night club music in the lobby. You have to pay for breakfast….. 2 bucks for an apple. Rust in showers and chipped paint on ceiling walls outside the showers. The only positive thing was the cleaning staff were friendly and helpful.

The rooms were renovated since my last stay. However, I did not appreciate the lack of customer service of the evening front desk attendant. I was locked out of my room for 45 minutes on 2 of my 3 nights stay and was told that it was because the card was left in my wallet although I never put the card in my wallet. Maintenance finally called to fix the lock and advised that the battery died in the card reader. I love the area but I will never stay there again.
