It got off to a bumpy start. The agent at the front desk ran my credit card 5 times because something was wrong with the machine. Once he gave up on that and gave us our hotel keys it was a pleasant stay. Also there is salsa dancing in the lobby area on certain nights, so you are able to get in a good workout if you are game for it!

Never will I ever again
We booked 2 rooms through this site and when we arrived only 1 room (a handicap room ) was available. Once in the room, the phone was broken as well as the air conditioning! There was no one on site to help, therefore we were left with a broken fan (which we had to ask for).

We have used Aloft on every road trip and vacation, we have a perfect stress free stay every time. And the 12 pm check out is a nice perk!
