Clean room, quiet, but they were supposed to email my bill and i still didn't get it. I would have appreciated it if they took a moment to print it for me, also when all the parking spaces close to the hotel were taken the clerk sent me to park around to the other side where the other retail buildings were. I was advised to park in space that is marked "retail". I asked twice if that's going to be ok. I was told yes. In the morning I had a warning ticket for parking there. Thankfully they didn't tow it.

Lack of adequate staffing

There was only 1 person at the front desk the entire stay who handled the entire hotel often making guests wait. The phone was never answered when we tried to call the reception desk. I asked for the room to be cleaned and was informed there was not enough staff to clean the room. The 3rd night I requested the room to be cleaned and it was not cleaned. I found a manager who had it cleaned.

Hotel is convenient to UNC. Our room was not cleaned properly. Trashcan in bathroom had not been emptied, trash was on the bathroom floor, hair was on shower wall. Front desk attendant was indifferent at my arrival. Seemed almost annoyed to have to check me in. My wife was barked at by another guest's dogs upon entering the elevator.

Staff apathetic. No smile, no service , just really didn’t care. For a big football game, no staff, bar closed because staff did not show up and no ice machines. Breakfast is not cool to order. It’s microwave to order. We have stayed at a number of Aloft hotels, & this one frankly was not good. No managers on duty. Really disappointed.
