“Great hotel for business! Great Rates always!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Charlotte has really grown over the last 7 years. To the point where the hotels were being overgrown with occupants. The Aloft is just a great place. Always has a great rate, super clean, and new. Rooms are standard Aloft Rooms which I have come to love. They have a great bar and great bar food! Bar is usually buzzing with people from Wednesday on. They often have live music for a few hours in front of the fire. One man playing the guitar.

It's roughly 18 miles from Charlotte Douglas Airport. 17 miles to downtown. Don't let the mileage scare you, it's 20 minutes either way. Parking is self park so you don't get the 25 dollar parking charge you might get at the Westin per day.

Great restaurants and bars close by.......if you are looking for a little "scene" check out - On The Roxx or Village Bistro...or Cosmos which has become a bit of a Cougar Den. Not intended to be derogatory. Just a fact. Wealthy older women looking for good looking guys.

This place is great! A definite stay if you are in the CLT.

Room Tip: All Rooms are the same. They are minimalist but always clean and comfortable.

“Pet Friendly and a great place to stay!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

person found this review helpful

This was our first time staying at an Aloft. We weren't sure what to expect and we were very pleasantly surprised and pleased. Property is very clean and the staff are extremely accommodating. We had breakfast in the snack area and thought it was very good. We had breakfast sandwiches and they are made to order. We didn't use the pool facilities but we did check them out and it was very nice and clean. Everything about the grounds are very pleasing. We even had a view of the golf course. The lounge is a really neat area however we were there on a Thursday (they have live entertaintainment on Tuesdays and Thursday's) and there was a "single's mingle" and only one bartender. Made for a little difficulty in getting served but it was fun for people watching. Looked like everyone was having fun and we did, too. The only thing we would have liked to have seen in the room was a light weight blanket for the bed instead of having to use the duvet. We did make that suggestion with person that checked us out. All in all this was a very pleasant stay and we will definitely stay again.

Hi Discerning Traveler 55!

Firstly thank you for your detailed review of our Aloft!
We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you liked many facets of the hotel. My apologies in regards to the slow service at the bar, but we were not expecting a large group in from outside of the hotel that night. We usually have 2 bartenders on duty. We do have lightweight blankets available on request (the front desk agent you spoke with was in training and was not aware of this yet), so you know for future stays. We look forward to seeing you back at our Aloft soon!

Happy New Year!

“Secluded ultramodern styling that's energy efficient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

If you like very modern styling in your hotels, this is for you. It appeals to those who like lofts (go figure) or rehabbed warehouses- that's the feel of the rooms at this hotel. I felt like I was stepping onto the bridge of a starship, complete with a hologram meeting you at the door- pretty cool. The rooms have an industrial feel that isn't very warm and cozy. They are clean and bare and efficient (your key card 'powers' the room, as in, no power without it being 'plugged in'). There are not many things nearby, but are a close drive away. The customer service is top notch. There's a bar, pool open until 1, and breakfast made to order. This hotel definitely caters to a younger hip crowd. Check out my photos.

“Fantastic hotel!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

person found this review helpful

This was our second stay at this hotel, and it was just as great as the first. The service at check-in and all throughout our stay, was attentive and friendly. They even greeted our little dog with a smile, and delivered a dog bed and treats to our door within 10 mins of arriving. The hotel is funky, and a nice change from the boring lot we find while traveling. We also had our 2 daughters with us, and while the room was compact it was set up perfectly and was high-quality and clean. The beds are a dream!! The girls even wanted to take the duvets home. :) The pool was sparkling clean despite that fact that no one was in it, and it was really warm too. The board games for families in the bar area are a fun treat. The little food station off the front lobby is small, but offers everything you'd want for a healthy breakfast or snack. This hotel is perfect for both families and business travelers alike, and will definitely be our hotel of choice when we are traveling in the area.
