We were in Birmingham for the wedding of our dear friends' son. Aloft SoHo was on the list of recommended places to stay while we were in town. Upon arrival, the gal behind the desk greeted us and was very friendly. As we walked up to our room, we felt like we were in a dormitory of a college. The halls were hot, and the walls were all marred up. Upon entry to our room, it seemed very old and unkept. It looked clean, I will give them that, but it was stuffy (no matter what we had the ac set at, fan on/off) and the carpet looked and felt very dirty. The rest of the front desk staff (as we walked down for coffee Saturday morning) was less than friendly and acted put out when asked about coffee and menu items offered at the "breakfast bar". They were not accommodating and when the lobby was a little warm as my husband and his buddy were playing pool, the front desk employee told them to walk over and get a fan to plug into the wall by them; did not offer to do it for them. Customer service was definitely below average, the room was average, at best, and we we actually wondered why this hotel was one of the choices of places to stay. We will not be back.

Good but not great

We had an extremely quick trip so it makes it unfair to give a completely accurate review. We arrived right at midnight and wanted to wind down for a few minutes before sleep. The TV had a picture and volume but then the picture went out so it left us with volume only. Turning it off and on didn't help and we weren't streaming so not an internet problem. We arrive late and weren't planning to watch so we didn't bother to call to report until checkout. So, I have no idea how they would have handled so a negative but they may have corrected immediately and all would have been well. Room was clean but not spacious. No tub but it may have been our type of room. Staff was friendly. Shower leaked around door.

The rooms were loud. I could hear everything from the hall and the room next to us. If the air conditioner fan could have contained running it would have been fine, but it kept cycling on and off which combined with the noise made for a fitful sleep.

Overated

Even though this room is eccentric in its layout this specific location doesnt work. To close to downtown because walls are thin. Can hear everything including vehicle traffic. Then there is the fact personnel do not understand that Down is Feathers. Took awhile to checkin. Then service replaced pillows and bottom sheet but replaced king mattress with queen sheet so made sleepi g on it terrible. Toilet is too close to ground. Nearly fall everytime.

Great place but can be noisy

This is truly a great place. Clean, friendly staff and close to shops and restaurants but there were trucks and cars honking and driving by at 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning. I expected some street noise when I got in the room but was surprised at the amount. I would still stay again but ask for a room facing away from the street. The staff was all southern hospitality and the noise was no fault of the hotel. Maybe a sound machine?
