We enjoyed our stay at Aloft. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was fine, nothing spectacular to rave about but a nice hotel for the price point and especially the location. Would stay again for the convenient location.

We loved our stay at Aloft! It’s in a great location and the king room is spacious with a great sized bathroom as well. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and found the drinks to be reasonably priced. The only issue we found is that the air flow in the room was not ideal, leading it to be fairly warm at night. We may have needed to turn the air down much cooler. Otherwise everything was clean, felt updated and well-maintained and in great walking distance from activities in the area. Would happily stay again!

The staff was nice and the building was as nice as it could be, a bit older and run down. The rooms with big windows and a city view is a nice touch but be prepared for outside noise.

The property was ok! Great location, many restaurants in the area. Pictures are misleading, pool is extremely small and not very inviting for guest, poorly maintained. Several leaks throughout the building, resulting in an awful smell throughout the hallways due to wet carpet. Staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. Met some prostitues in the lobby, very interesting experience. Bullet holes in the window. Might want to repair that Aloft! Next time I visit Houston, I will definitely be choosing a different hotel.

Soon as you walk through the entrance door, it’s smells like sewage, getting the room thru this third party app and not knowing what your room will look like is not cool. My boyfriend and I picked a king size room, but when we got there it was no view just a window facing a wall, that was wack, I advised the staff as my key wouldn’t unlock the doors to the roof top, about my room she said she would see what she could do, and she said she get us another key card, well yeah she never contacted us… traveled far just to not get a window view and stared at a wall the whole time I was there in that room…. Room 801 no window view just a wall
