Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The hotel had a nice overall feel, but I was a bit disappointed by a few things. For the price, I expected parking to be included, so the extra charge felt unnecessary. The sheets and towels had an unpleasant odor, which took away from the comfort of the stay. It was also quite noisy, which made it hard to relax. With a few improvements, it could be a much better experience.

Modern style, young clientele, either in their twenties or families with young children. The dining service is limited. Pool and gym are a nice bonus.

In the heat of the Cortex district

We enjoyed our stay at Aloft. The rooms are modern and comfortable. There are great common area spaces to eat, grab a drink, or just hang out. Table top games and a pool table were a great touch. The only downside was breakfast. We added it into our reservation and paid in advance for all three days. The options on the menu did not match what we ordered and in our third day they ran out of food… so no breakfast. They did offer us cold cereal or yogurt instead. And they were quite apologetic. But next time I’ll just get breakfast out. Great location in the heart of the Cortex district, meat public transportation, and close to Central West End.

Liked: Staff & service
The front desk and staff were very polite and attentive. For example, the toliet in our room did not work properly when we arrived and it was repaired immediately. We also checked in early. The hotel was clean, but I could not give it 5 stars. For cleanliness, I would rate it as average. (I am told I have exceptionally high standards for hotels.)

Room was not clean, floors dirty upon check in. Only 2 towels provided for 4 people. Breakfast option was very slow, over 30 minute wait for 3 breakfast sandwiches and a waffle. Coffee was often empty. Room itself was ok but zero privacy for a family traveling together, shower is open to bedroom. Nothing within walking distance for family dining. Kids did like the pool table but that was only positive.

Never again

As someone who uses Chime as my visa payment card of choice I was basically treated as a criminal at check in. I was told they did not except my form of payment at the time of check in due to what the front desk woman stated as she didnt want to say but people with that type of card tend to be fraudulent. I was agast and required my poor mother who was in St Louis for surgery to put the room on her card. Now the best part was a few hours later the hotel tried to charge my card for the room that was already paid for. I WILL NEVER BOOK AN ALOFT AGAIN. I had stayed in one before and liked it hence why i booked it.
