My first time staying at Aloft River North and it was St. Pattys weekend, it was a pleasant experience. Very walkable, staff was very professional and friendly, smooth check in and check out. The lobby was busy, but not crowded. Having Beatrix there was also a plus! Rooms and views were great! Staff is also very accommodating, my sister and her boyfriend checked in a day after us and they offered to put them on the same floor and they were able to put them a door down from us. I’d definitely recommend to a friend and I’d stay here again!

Nothing too fancy but clean, nice facilities, everything in good condition and well maintained. The restaurant is very good! Couple small things: at our initial check in they seemed understaffed, but by checkout they had more than one staff member and also found a random water bottle under the bed that cleaning missed. Housekeeping never came by as far as I could tell in our three night stay. It’s reasonably quiet considering you are surrounded by a bustling city. You will hear sirens and construction if nearby, but wasn’t kept awake. View was great. Desk staff very helpful! The room lighting was really nice, lots of options to adjust brightness even individually over the beds. Overall very happy with our stay. For the price, it’s what I expected.
