I have stayed at this location two years ago and it was great. This visit, I was surprised at how much wear and tear is all around. Stains, scuffs, paint chips, etc. Our room had a bad wet musty smell and when the staff member moved us to another room, it was just as bad. We considered leaving but it was late and we were exhausted. Also, refrigerator began a loud, shrill noise in the middle of the night. We had to turn it off to stop it. The ironic thing is that there were so many other hotels close to us, with even lower rates that we could have (and should have) chose, but we chose Aloft due to our visit two years ago. We go to Gainesville often and I am sad to see that the Aloft has gone down in quality. I will say that the staff was nice.

A few odd experiences left me less than impressed. Checked in to be told that they didn’t have enough keys and mobile key didn’t work so I was dependent on having them walk me to my door. (Thankfully that was resolved by the next morning). Then the safe didn’t work, ran out of body wash and shampoo on day 2. When I put in a request I waited all day and nothing. Then I went down and asked for someone again to get these replaced as I needed a shower, still nothing for another 2 hours.. I finally asked housekeeping in the hallway and she helped me. Workers were nice but I was frustrated that they do the bare minimum to get by
