Starting right away in the lobby you can tell that Aloft is working hard to be trendy and fashionable. It works, too. The staff was always polite but seemed distracted by other duties several times. The rooms and hallways try very hard to capture a recovered industrial interior design that seems suspiciously like just polishing a repurposed building.
Having said all that, it was mostly comfortable and the room was clean. I felt safe in and around the hotel.
The worst thing was the water. I’ve seen it on other reviews but the hotel did not seem to have cold water. Even the cold water in the sink was lukewarm. The shower only had a single setting: Wildly and uncomfortably hot.
Verdict: Good location, comfortable room, good staff. Ridiculously hot water, though, so prepare for that.
Just don’t base your stay on the faux-dive ambiance.
