Great stay!! There was so much to do in the building itself. Only complaint is that our balcony was covered in broken glass. I understand the railing to the balcony next door shattered, but they didn’t seem to care.. and there was quite a lot of glass bits that reached our balcony.

We love Aloft Hotels! If we find one we will usually pick there to stay. This Aloft did not disappoint. It was clean and the decor is so cute. The pool was great and it was easy to find. The neighborhood it was in is a little sketch but I never felt unsafe. We would absolutely stay here again!!

This hotel was amazingly chic You get 3 restaurants, 2 bars, a bowling alley and about 30 other restaurants within walking distance
John, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Wear your walking shoes.
Once you get to your room, -it's awkward but fine. Coming in the front door is like entering a 1970's disco. Getting into this hotel is more like entering a 1970's nightclub: you walk through a corridor, but with it's high ceiling it's more like a tunnel. The 'lobby' has 1 circular couch which is extremely uncomfortable...since the lobby has shared entrance to a restaurant and bowling alley, they clearly don't want you hanging around (not a convenient place to wait for others in your party). Checkin was quick and efficient. Because this building is multi-use, you have to use your keycard in the elevator for access to only your floor (and likewise, tenants shouldn't be able to access 'guest' floors). Parking your car is an additional $17/night in the attached garage. Since the floors are "u-shaped' and the only elevator is at 1 end of the 'u',be sure to ask for a room close to the elevator. If you don't, you're in for a LONG walk w/ your bags to the rooms at opposite end of the floor. Want ice....use your keycard because the room w/ the icemaker is locked. There's a rooftop bar above the 12 floor which stays open late. Overall, with the presence of the roof bar, downstairs restaurant and bowling alley, mixed use offices on multiple floors and keycards designed to limit access...the whole vibe is that there's a security plan designed to keep people only in the places they belong. Somewhat unnerving. If walking is a challenge, you won't like this place at all.

Not the best neighborhood and the layout of the hotel is interesting with office space and parking on the lower levels and hotel rooms on upper levels. Our bathroom bar. door required 2 people to open and close it and remote control was broken.

Cool vibe. conveniently located. Walkable to downtown attractions. I wished the rooftop bar and lower level lounge were open on Sunday funday, but at least the lower level bar was open.
