Not the best neighborhood and the layout of the hotel is interesting with office space and parking on the lower levels and hotel rooms on upper levels. Our bathroom bar. door required 2 people to open and close it and remote control was broken.

We love Aloft Hotels! If we find one we will usually pick there to stay. This Aloft did not disappoint. It was clean and the decor is so cute. The pool was great and it was easy to find. The neighborhood it was in is a little sketch but I never felt unsafe. We would absolutely stay here again!!

This hotel perfectly illustrates "the Enshittification of Everything". It was $500/night (for the eclipse), and had no microwave oven in the room... nor even a microwave oven next to the ice machine down the hall (like some other "boutique" Marriott properties including the "AC by Marriott" in Seattle/Belevue, WA have). The room's sad excuse for a chair (not counting the uncomfortable L-shaped ornament next to the tiny table) was a lonely-looking padded cube that failed miserably as both a place to sit AND a place to put an open suitcase. The refrigerator had no freezer, so I couldn't re-freeze my ice pack and had to use ice cubes for the trip home... and it was so desperate to be "green", it turned off the display after a few seconds and created about an hour of uncertainty about whether it was even working. The room's 12th-floor location was noisy due to the nightclub on the roof. Topping it all off... the bathroom had no lock on the door. Basically, it's a hotel that tries so painfully hard to pretend it's "cool" and "edgy", it completely loses sight of things that actually *matter*, like "guest comfort". If you're pretentiously insecure about your own trendiness, think ascetic minimalism is cool, and you're OK with eating cold packaged junk food or raw fruit for breakfast, you might like this hotel. Personally, Marriott's "boutique" hotels are now officially dead to me. For $150/night, it would have been "disappointing". At $500/night, it just plain sucked.
