Nice Hotel, Poor Management and Inconvenient Stay

Overall, my stay was just okay. There was only one working elevator in the guest tower, which was a huge inconvenience throughout my visit due to the high volume of guests coming and going. I requested additional towels but never received them. While the hotel itself is nice, it seems to be poorly managed. There were stacks of boxes at the front entrance, which created an unpleasant first impression each time I walked in and out. On a positive note, the hotel did offer evening activities for a small fee, which was a nice touch and added some entertainment options during the stay.

Liked: Cleanliness
I was agast that the representative at the front desk could not give me a room when I walked in. He said to sit in the lobby on my phone and reserve a room online. My email address that was registered with Bonvoy was stuck in a digital nightmare and I couldn’t log onto my account. I then went onto Expedia to get my room. The entire hour the front desk rep knew I wanted and needed a room but he was simply a face hired by Aloft…to do what? Not helpful. In the morning the new representative at the front desk was amazing. Five stars for her. The housekeeping staff 5star. I witnessed other guests not happy with things but I understand that’s hearsay. If this place wasn’t right next to ACAC I wouldn’t stay here again.

Check in area not in a good location of lobby. It was “Salsa dance” night and the reception person couldn’t hear me, wasn’t attentive and was singing along with music. Didn’t offer any additional info on Hotel details for example about WiFi, parking etc.
