The hotel and staff were nice. The room has seen better days. It was clean but there were corners of the shower door that appeared rusted. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was clean. It just needs a little attention to detail on what could be maintained better.

Was great location however not the best Aloft I’ve stayed. Lobby is typical and nice but the rooms could use a bit of updating to complete the full Aloft experience and expectation. We had to switch rooms after a leak from room above. Staff was pleasant and polite and accommodating. Other than that it was good. I would consider staying again primarily because I like Alofts and the staff here were all great my entire stay.
