This was a good option while traveling with my small dog. The small bar was wonderful for a glass of wine and a snack and Ken is the best! So pet friendly. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

The staff was amazing. However, when we got to our floor, it felt as if the air conditioner wasn’t working from the moment we stepped off of the elevator. When we got to our room, it was extremely hot and smelled as if the room had been shut off or not used for a long time. We found a dead bug on the bed. We were very surprised by this experience because we typically have an amazing experience at the Aloft.
