Very disappointing stay!
Upon trying to check in, their software was down & after a couple of hours, they manually checked us in with pen & paper. We checked in on Friday & checked out on Monday. We never received a room key & had to be escorted to our room each time. The air conditioning wasn’t working properly & had to get up several times during the night to start the a/c. We were never offered clean towels. Only one time did we have hot water in shower. The pool wasn’t open & bar wasn’t open. I can say though that the people at the front desk were very kind, as I know they had no control over it. We were told upon checking out that we should get refund or points but haven’t heard from anyone!

A nightmare at Aloft
The hotel gave us a room on the 5th floor the widow was facing a brick wall 👀👀 There was a painting on the wall that fell off in the middle of the night scared me to death. The elevator stopped working and the computer system shut down and they have no idea when the home will come off my card.

Elevator not working!!
I booked for 2 nights but stayed for one night. When we checked in the elevator was working. We left for dinner and the elevator was not working. Our room was on the 7th floor and we had to use the stairs. Not to mention my daughter hurt her foot so it was uncomfortable for her. The room did not have washcloths only hand towels & dry-off towels. The deadbolt on the door wasn’t working properly. The A/C didn’t cool as much as it should.
