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.

I booked a room with two queen beds but were given a king bed room & unable to change rooms since queen bed rooms not available. Also rooms not cleaned at all during the 2 day stay. Shane was helpful & friendly but other staff at the lobby made no eye contact or acknowledgment. The location is convenient & the property is clean.

Has similar designs as many other Aloft hotels but i do appreciate personalization with this one as they added elements of one of the major college teams locally in the area. Clean and quiet. Parking was fairly easy and at the front area however if the lot is full, you may have to park on a different area. It did feel relatively safe though for walking to and from your vehcile. Large vehicles (i was driving a ford 250 full size) can park also in the places but anything with a trailer or larger would have to park a bit further from the entrance. Overall the hotel was quiet and staff were amazing as always with the Aloft brand. Overall design and room was thier simple and sleep style. I would say there is a slight safety issue if someone spills liquid in the bathroom area as the flooring can be slick. A dedicated bath mat that can be washed or a thicker towel specific for the shower would be helpful in terms of stability whjle standing after one gets out of the shower.
