This is my second time in a month staying at this hotel and I was very intentional in that because I thoroughly enjoyed my stay the first time. I travel solo so it’s perfect for solo travelers. It’s in a perfect location giving that there are restaurants very close around within walking distance. The vibe of the hotel is very vibrant, lively, and inviting! Has a really cool music theme. Kid and teen friendly. The rooms are always exceptionally clean!! Nice bar and amenities with a gym and heated pool. The outside sitting area is nice as well. The only thing I don’t like is that they don’t have a complimentary breakfast. All breakfast items that they do have is purchase only accept for free coffee. All in all I will definitely be staying here again!

Went to concert at vibrant music hall, this hotel is very close, could walk there. The bed in rm 201 could use some help, a little soft and lower in the middle, so 2 people roll to center. Dining options nearby.

For our purposes this was the ideal location for business and visiting family. We have stayed in Aloft properties before and expected minimalism, but... only four hangers? And there was no housekeeping service during a five-night stay. I had to ask for towels on the third day, that were delivered while we were out, but dirty towels were not picked up nor was the bed made (ever). :( The indoor pool is great, and the bar/lounge area is very nice but general hotel experience was lacking.
