Many options available to me in the area but decided to try aLoft after a customer recommendation. Wow...big mistake.
I'm in my 30s, I can appreciate the young and fun atmosphere, and the lobby and bar area are very cool...but come ON. The modern aesthetic is cute but wears thin very fast when you realize your hotel room looks like a prison cell, complete with the lowest-grade furniture money can buy. I'm talking dorm room. Bed is very low to the ground and uncomfortable. The closet is a joke, I could barely get 3 dress shirts and my 2 pairs of dress pants in there. .
Internet is terrible...it's so slow it is unusable. And the location? You're basically marooned on the wrong side of a highway with NO restaurants or stores that are even remotely walk-able (not by distance, but by danger of walking across an extremely busy highway intersection!)
Compared to the Hyatt Place just down the street, which has the modern feel but also has much higher quality surroundings...nice chairs, huge LCD flatscreen, much nicer carpeting, beds are 1000x better.
I travel a lot for work and I simply can't say I have stayed in a more overpriced hotel.
