An overall great stay! Did originally check into one room that was hot and chalked it up too it was just a hot day in general. However, after attending the baseball game and returning late room was even hotter than when we first got there so upon speaking to staff, they were able to accommodate us and move us and way colder room. Friendly staff, clean environment, will definitely stay there again.

Our first room had a bad leak and an awful wetness smell. We reported it to the front desk and they got us in another room immediately.

We enjoyed our stay at Aloft. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was fine, nothing spectacular to rave about but a nice hotel for the price point and especially the location. Would stay again for the convenient location.

It was good overall, but can do with some maintenance and more comfortable bedding. The pillows were pretty uncomfortable, the safe in the room was out of batteries, and the toilet was leaking. On-site dining would be great, too! Besides that, staff was amazing, very responsive, and helpful.
