Overall the Aloft is an unique hotel and beautiful but is absolutely the noisiest place I have ever stayed! All night long! Every sound from the room next door. The floor sounded like it was falling in from above us... You could hear the cleaning people in rooms several rooms down... Not a sound barrier to be had! Not enjoyable!

The room was comfortable and usually quiet. Bed was great. The elevators took some getting used to - totally controlled by a room key, so there were no floor buttons to press. I had problems with the deadlock, which took several days to get fixed, and I'm not sure that the problem was completely solved. The room was mostly secure even without it, but I wasn't pleased with the response to my request. There were good restaurants nearby - I just had no time to take advantage of anything other than a place to rest when possible.

Ahhhh, I don’t do a lot of reviews, but this stood out. Luke Luke warm shower after a long day? Check. Paper thin comforter? Check? Exposed feet because it was short? Check. Experiencing what I thought was a hovering helicopter outside my window that turned out to be a freight train? Check and check. People were nice. Hotel was nice. But those things were doozies.

The breakfast service promoted in the listing is misleading. Everything is a la carte and pricey. For the nightly rate I paid, it's hard to believe that they gouge you for what is basically a continental breakfast. $2.50 for a banana is just and example. Eat at Bob Evens down the street. It will be much better and cheaper.

Meh, probably wouldn’t stay again

Hotel was clean and nicely decorated. Staff were friendly at checkin. Bed was good but pillows were lumpy flat things that weren’t very comfortable. Sound proofing doesn’t exist- sounded like a herd of elephants in the room above when they were simply walking around, and could hear them talking. Heating/AC unit is one that turns off and on all night, and isn’t intuitive since there’s a thermostat on the wall that seemed to do nothing but could be controlled from the unit itself. Bathroom area is more open than most hotels- a partial wall between sink and bedroom area, and a sliding door separating the shower/toilet so middle of the night trips easily wake people up. Overall it was ok, but probably wouldn’t choose to stay there again.
