I had a great view of the lake - would definitely stay there again. The room was clean and everything was quiet. There was a place nearby to have breakfast.
We love Aloft Hotels! If we find one we will usually pick there to stay. This Aloft did not disappoint. It was clean and the decor is so cute. The pool was great and it was easy to find. The neighborhood it was in is a little sketch but I never felt unsafe. We would absolutely stay here again!!

Great staff. facilities are getting old though. Walkable area
Cool vibe. conveniently located. Walkable to downtown attractions. I wished the rooftop bar and lower level lounge were open on Sunday funday, but at least the lower level bar was open.
Hailey was great at check in and with advice on where to eat when restaurant was full at hotel. Very pleasant and helpful!
Bartenders at WXYZ bar were great as well. Very friendly and the service was great! Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Decent view and design of room. However, the shower head wouldn’t turn all the way off, no area in shower to place items besides ground, Kleenex ran out - the last bottom Kleenex sheets were a different color and folded down as if a guest put them there.
