loved the property and the modern feel and outdoor space was great! Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Only negative was the the amenities in the room were not convenient or well thought out. Example: wall plugs not near the bed, older chargers were in the clock so could not use with updated phones. No towel racks in the bathroom or sink areas, lights were very dim in rooms. Bathroom door although was creative and cool was a pain to open and close.

We loved it so much - while we didn't have our dog with us, we love that the hotel is dog-friendly and does fostering - what a brilliant idea! The hotel is clean, modern, smells great, and the staff is amazing. Just - amazing. I'm allergic to down pillows - some of the pillows in our room were down-alternative, but some...weren't. I only checked one (my bad). After a really rough night, when we asked for down-alternative pillows, they brought us a mountain of them. Love this hotel and look forward to staying here again. Just delightful.

Nice enough property close to everything downtown. Staff was virtually non existent, the one day we needed room service cleaning they didn't show (we didn't have the "quiet please" sign up). The bar tender didn't seem to know how to make some pretty basic drinks - the bar was empty the whole time while the adjacent hotel bar Moxy? was packed - we likely would try that hotel instead next time. Parking was easy enough, people (the few we talked to at reception) were nice enough - nothing wowing about the place. Nice that dogs are allowed.

Overall a Great Stay

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Aloft and would pick it again in future trips. PROS Clean, views of the city and mountains, friendly staff, great choices for breakfast, great location, great water pressure in the shower CONS Our room was on a busy street and it was loud at night, parking deck was tight omg, bedding was so thin it was basically like two top sheets, you could see hallway light coming in from the gap under the door Pros outweighed cons though and we would stay here again ☺️
