Room was nice; pool is a nice amenity; central location to Main Street works great for us.
Everything was perfect. Street parking definitely is hard to find, but they do have a valet option for $24 a night. The front desk staff was absolutely wonderful.
Our stay at the Aloft Hotel was excellent. The property was top-notch, clean, and conveniently located downtown. The staff were very nice, and I appreciated the choice of street parking or valet. The lobby bar was beautiful, and the self-serve cold water and evening ice cream were great touches. The pool table was also a fun amenity. I highly recommend this hotel.
Clean and convenient to local shops and restaurants. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. Took advantage of a well-equipped gym also. Staff was attentive and courteous.
