The entire stay. First the front desk personnel spoke broken English I had to repeatedly ask them to repeat what they were saying. Second you showed a pool at hotel reason we chose to stay there. There was not one. Getting into the parking garage has a chore machine for gate froze up. First night we went to a show came back at 10 pm bartender was calling last call. Very irogant to customers. The bar says open til midnight. Second night bar was closed all together. Said to goto AC hotel show card to get in discount. There bar at aloft would have been nice no driving . Rooms are not very sound proof could hear every vac Outside our room. Heard every person up stairs walking around or when they dropped something on floor. Checkout had a hard time getting out of garage had to call for help. Not the weekend I hoped for.

The room was great, and the housekeepers did a good job! The front desk person who checked us in seemed to be having a bad day, which can happen, so we will give him a pass for being unwelcoming. Parking was very tight and confusing, but luckily, it wasn't jam-packed. Overall, it's a good and affordable place to stay.

Most of the staff was great, the location is excellent, and the bed was very comfortable. Other reviewers had complained that it was noisy so I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't really any worse than a lot of other hotels. Complementary coffee was great (and strong!) in the morning. We'd totally stay there again!

Everything was great. I think the woman at the front desk may have been new? I did not receive information on parking or how breakfast was set up. When I went to park I realized I needed a code from the front desk so it took me a few laps around the hotel to figure that one out. But everyone was apologetic and friendly.

Overall a good place to stay. Bartender Christopher) was great with a list of places to eat. He gave us more info than whomever was at the desk. More food options at the bar would be nice. Asked for more coffee, tea and cups at the front desk. Nothing ever came. When I asked again I was told they ran out of everything. Seriously!!!! Didn't even get a call that they were out. Was told when I went back down to ask.
