Front desk girl was awful and very rude. I paid for a room ahead of time and once I got there a couple hours later they said they accidentally overbooked and didn’t have my Room and I had to fight hard for my refund.

8/10 Very Good

Staff and hotel incredible. There were a group of people playing pool who were not guests & not buying drinks at the bar, that made me very uncomfortable. I’m all for inclusivity but not when people are randomly allowed to loiter are present. The hotel needs to have a better defined policy around that situation/

You can’t go wrong with Aloft
You can’t go wrong, we arrived late and tired and Tiana welcomed us kindly making the check in a breeze. Thanks Tiana! We enjoyed a couple of drinks at the bar served by the friendly Cameron and had a nice chat with manager Becky. Everyone was super nice and room was clean, spacious, bed super comfy! We had a nice breakfast before hitting the road again, very happy and would definitely stay again :)

I recommend avoiding this hotel on a busy weekend because there's a decent chance they would give away your room if you're not there before 8pm. They severely overbook rooms and they aren't prepared on how to handle it. Very understaffed also.
