I stayed at this hotel this weekend from Thursday to Saturday. The room was clean, but the mirror was cracked and the walls are like paper (I could hear the person in the next room running the shower). Like the reviewer on 9.28, I stayed at the Aloft b/c I have a pet, for which the front desk clerk provided a doggie bag full of goodies for my pet. She also provided a dog bed and dog bowls (that I washed out b/f checking out).
Charles, the front desk clerk was fabulous. He made me feel so comfortable and welcomed at the Aloft. Even the room I faced, which faced the night clubs (6 of them), he offered to move me to another room on the opposite side. He made my trip and gave me a pleasant experience in spite of the negative acoustics and design of the hotel which has paper thin walls and non-sound proof windows.
If I was staying for pleasure and partying, it would have been a great experience, the only thing is that I was in town for business, not for partying and all night (2am wee hour) clubing.
The last thing was the parking. Aloft needs to do a better job of clearly indicating that valet parking is available at the time that the reservation was made. It was a hassle to get in on a weekend night b/c the Aloft doesn't own the parking, but if the hotel guest works through the Aloft, as it is available, the parking situation would have been alot better.
Finally, the lobby is too dark. I've been to several Alofts and this one is too dark, although it caters to nightlife, it doesn't have to be dark.
