I stayed at the Aloft in the EpiCentre for 2 nights during a company retreat. It was very nice not having to drive anywhere. Everything was so convenient and just a short walk right out the door....restaurants, nightlife, etc. The rooms have been recently renovated and very contemporary. They are on the small side, though. Very little space for a... More

Dear Debbie8888, Thank you for your candid comments. I am very pleased to hear that we were a great place to spend some free time. Our central location is certainly a great feature; I'm sorry however that the excitement caused you to be awakened at night. Thanks for providing travelers with the tip of requesting the "quiet side"; some people... More

My wife and I stay here regularly during our visits to Charlotte for entertainment and cultural enjoyment. Every time we have stayed at Aloft, beginning just a month after they opened the hotel, we have enjoyed consistently good service and good value. One night, we had to endure a fire alarm evacuation at 2 a.m., which was not pleasant, but... More

I have never stayed at Aloft for any other reason than to just lay my head after a night of partying with my friends at the Epicentre so I can't speak to many of the amenities, but I appreciate the style of the hotel and the staff's attentiveness. The rooms are modern and the beds are comfortable. For uptown, the... More

Dear giggle731, Thank you for your comments. It's always a pleasure to read from our guests that the service we provide is appreciated and worthy of your time to comment.

perfect location near the bank of america building's as well as all of the restaurants at the eipicentre. Typical aloft layout and rooms. Remember aloft does not provide an iron in your room so if you are there for business remember your options for wrinkled clothes are limited due to the shower being open and no iron.

The location of this hotel is awesome!! We took the train from raleigh ($7 cab ride from train station to hotel) and could walk to great restaurants, bars and time warner arena. The price however is not worth it ($206 a night for a standard room). The pool is a single lap pool with no hot tub in a very... More

Dear MereParr, Thank you for your candid feedback; I only wish it would have been prompted by an exceptional experience. Reading your comments, I am a bit saddened that we missed the mark, more from a design perspective than in the delivery of service. I realize the aloft concept is not for everyone. Having written that I hope you will... More

I travel quite a bit and have stayed in a lot of hotels over the years (mostly for business). I took a chance on Aloft because of the great reputation of the "W" hotel brand. While not a bad hotel, it was an odd stay. It's clean and the staff was great. But the hotel itself was very strange. It... More

Dear BeMySamaritan, I truly appreciate your candid feedback. While I am very pleased to hear that the service and cleanliness were great, I am sorry to hear that some of the aloft "uniqueness" didn't resonate with you. I understand fully the nuances that this brand provides in comparison to the standard hotel. While we strive to be the proverbial "breath... More

I have just returned from a stay at the aLoft in Uptown Charlotte, NC. I was there on the dates of 2/13/12- 2/16/12 with my husband. On the plus side, the hotel is aesthetically pleasing and the rooms are pleasant as well. I have two concerns/suggestions, and one very major complaint that would be of interest to fellow travelers. 1.... More

I was a bit apprehensive to stay here after reading the reviews, and I contacted the manager with my concerns. As a result, the staff went far above and beyond to make my stay - which was to rest before and after one day surgery - comfortable. Not only was my request honored for a quiet room location, but they... More

Kind of a funky concept. I have never really liked the soap dispenser concept in the shower so that is not great. Room nice, bed comfortable, great TV and LOVED that the blinds are easy and make the room dark. However - the hall noise is awful You can hear every word people say. Doors shutting sound like a canon... More
