Staff1817Strength
Our stay this time was very last minute and impromptu - but JP at the Aloft was so accommodating (as per usual!) Our late night turned into a late morning and we're so grateful for the hospitality and ease of our stay here.
Tripadvisor, February 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
Stayed at Aloft and was impressed by the three young front-desk staff — friendly, efficient, and welcoming.

A little louder if you are a quiet sleeper.

Staying on the 2nd floor you can hear all of the street noise it is hard to sleep, get a higher floor if you can.

Request was ignored, put me in a room on the front of the hotel across from construction work on opposite building, was very noisy and was woken up at 6am every day due to construction workers using loud equipment.

When we later asked for compensation for that final night, management refused, claiming the issue had not been reported - which is incorrect.
