Overall, I was pretty underwhelmed by my stay, especially compared to other Aloft properties I've visited.
A few things stood out:
* One entire window's blinds didn't work, which wasn't ideal for either privacy or blocking out the morning light. Most of the blinds also had tears in the sides and the shower curtain graphic was all scratched and looked super beat up which just made the room feel a little too...lived in.
* The line to check in was surprisingly long, and the wait took much longer than expected.
* I'm not sure if the walls are just very thin, but I could hear extremely loud noise from neighboring rooms throughout the night, making it difficult to sleep.
The check-in experience was also a bit odd. The concierge told me I'd been "upgraded," but when I thanked him, he immediately clarified that it was only because that was the only room type left. If it wasn't actually a complimentary upgrade, it probably would've been better not to frame it that way.
None of these issues on their own would have ruined the stay, but together they made for a pretty subpar experience. I expected more based on my past experiences with Aloft, and unfortunately this location didn't live up to those expectations.
