Aloft was a great hotel. The staff is all amazing- great service. Great rooms. I think it a bit overpriced for the amenities but it is in a great location. The water in the bathroom did not have a good smell - almost like a rusted smell. Another disappointment was the small area to buy drinks and snacks. The coffee maker was “out of service” and I could only purchase my snack items by billling to my room because the payment system was down. At approx 300$ a night I see these as basic services. Cannot stress enough how wonderful the hotel staff is. From front desk to housekeeping. Great people. Thank you

1. We could have saved $150 off of our one-night stay if someone had told us about a senior discount. 2. There was a hair on the cup next to the bathroom sink. 3. The seat cushion on the bench in the room was tattered and scraped (unsightly). 4. The bath mat is frayed and tattered (so shabby).
