Always spotless, and the staff go above and beyond. Love that they have a shuttle to bring you anywhere you want to go, and then come back and get you. Shuttle drivers Mark and Elton are awesome! The front desk staff a so accommodating, and Chris at the bar is the best!

Our stay at The Aloft was great. The beds are comfy. The coffee was good. My only issue is the shower stall being placed basically out in the open as if the bathroom designer forgot to add walls. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.
