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.
