The staff was super friendly, everything from check-in, passing staff in the elevators, and halls, to check-out. Also, this is literally next door to DPAC, so if you are going to a show there, extremely convenient!

Aloft was a great hotel. The staff is all amazing- great service. Great rooms. I think it a bit overpriced for the amenities but it is in a great location. The water in the bathroom did not have a good smell - almost like a rusted smell. Another disappointment was the small area to buy drinks and snacks. The coffee maker was “out of service” and I could only purchase my snack items by billling to my room because the payment system was down. At approx 300$ a night I see these as basic services. Cannot stress enough how wonderful the hotel staff is. From front desk to housekeeping. Great people. Thank you
