Aloft is a very nice hotel that offers a modern vibe and a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic—conveniently situated in a walkable area with plenty of nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops. It's a great choice for anyone who loves to explore the city on foot. However, one downside is the confusing pick-up area for Uber and other rideshare services. It can be tricky to figure out exactly where to meet your driver, which may cause some frustration, especially during busy times. Overall, Aloft is a great option for those seeking a stylish and centrally located hotel, but just be prepared for a little extra effort when arranging transportation.
