Awful hotel and the staff was rude and unhelpful. My room had zero privacy i booked a city view and was given a room directly overlooking an office building. All the office look directly into the room and the office building was super close right on top of the room. When I asked to change rooms the front desk Alexis told me all the rooms are like that. She did not offer to move me. In addition, the bed was super soft like a banana. The bathroom was and overall feel of hotel was dirty. When I went down to tell Alexis I am leaving and want a refund she offered me the option of changing rooms and then said we wont refund you because i now offered to change your room so i am accommodating you. She did not do this before I complained. They should refund my money i had to go to another hotel and paid for two hotels. I left a message for the GM and he never returned my call. The staff here has quietly quit. Do not stay at this awful hotel with rude staff and no privacy/bad beds.

Seems to be a safe area and quite quiet also not too far from other things via car. The rooms nevertheless way pricer than they should: as you enter on the left you have the bathroom sink and the coffee and closet and everything in one - a first for me to find the coffee maker basically in the kitchen. Then the shower head almost is not moving so once in the shower basically there is no place the water wont hit you so you have to get wet, close the water while shampooing or cleaning and then restart the water. Of the breakfast what can I say: choose from 1 thibg from a breakfast small burger or a waffle or a small sandwich and a juice (made of concentrate) for $9 per person….So to put it short: expensive for being so scarce in its offering.Oh btw valet-parking: rude guys all of them!

Our stay at the Aloft Hotel was excellent. The property was top-notch, clean, and conveniently located downtown. The staff were very nice, and I appreciated the choice of street parking or valet. The lobby bar was beautiful, and the self-serve cold water and evening ice cream were great touches. The pool table was also a fun amenity. I highly recommend this hotel.
