The place looks nice but the fact that they can't upgrade to a room that is most likely empty for me viewing it from the outside just so I can enjoy some fresh air while I'm willing to pan up charges ridiculous, plus their door room keys that they also charge you to use the parking ramp when you're staying there by the way which is beyond ridiculous I'm already paying $300 to stay here but you charge me an extra $13-15 per car. The room key wouldn't allow me in or out of the park and ramp I had to keep buzzing into the front desk just to be let in staff was very nice even though they couldn't do anything at all

We love Aloft Hotels! If we find one we will usually pick there to stay. This Aloft did not disappoint. It was clean and the decor is so cute. The pool was great and it was easy to find. The neighborhood it was in is a little sketch but I never felt unsafe. We would absolutely stay here again!!

Decent view and design of room. However, the shower head wouldn’t turn all the way off, no area in shower to place items besides ground, Kleenex ran out - the last bottom Kleenex sheets were a different color and folded down as if a guest put them there.

Parking was not well marked. When checking in, staff was low key yelling at her computer, acted like checking us in was inconvenient for her as there was only one staff member at front desk. The bathroom/toilet, floor and bed were clean. Great view and cool minimalist style room. However, walls around the bathroom/toilet closet were dirty with toothpaste splatter and drips. Upon check out, initially the front desk was unmanned, again only one employee . When we were checking out, staff was again pleasant, but did not ask how stay was, just quick checked us out and left the desk. We picked the hotel due to location. It was closely located to several restaurants and Shea theater, but would not visit again.

I feel the rooms are way over priced, especially when you have to pay for parking besides the room cost. Also no breakfast or drinks included. I’ve stayed in just as nice hotels in the past for better than half the money, with parking and breakfast included!

Very clean and contemporary. Staff was nice and informative. Most of the nearby restaurants are pricey (no fast food within walking distance for cheaper meals). Garage is a little bit of a nightmare to enter but no issues exiting and low cost parking fee. Snack area is clean and offers decent prices. The only issue with the room is the shower was not draining very fast (I think it's the design of the drain), so water splashed out onto the floor. Otherwise, it's a very decent place to stay.

This hotel perfectly illustrates "the Enshittification of Everything". It was $500/night (for the eclipse), and had no microwave oven in the room... nor even a microwave oven next to the ice machine down the hall (like some other "boutique" Marriott properties including the "AC by Marriott" in Seattle/Belevue, WA have). The room's sad excuse for a chair (not counting the uncomfortable L-shaped ornament next to the tiny table) was a lonely-looking padded cube that failed miserably as both a place to sit AND a place to put an open suitcase. The refrigerator had no freezer, so I couldn't re-freeze my ice pack and had to use ice cubes for the trip home... and it was so desperate to be "green", it turned off the display after a few seconds and created about an hour of uncertainty about whether it was even working. The room's 12th-floor location was noisy due to the nightclub on the roof. Topping it all off... the bathroom had no lock on the door. Basically, it's a hotel that tries so painfully hard to pretend it's "cool" and "edgy", it completely loses sight of things that actually *matter*, like "guest comfort". If you're pretentiously insecure about your own trendiness, think ascetic minimalism is cool, and you're OK with eating cold packaged junk food or raw fruit for breakfast, you might like this hotel. Personally, Marriott's "boutique" hotels are now officially dead to me. For $150/night, it would have been "disappointing". At $500/night, it just plain sucked.

The stay was rocky from the start, the staff was very rude. Called the front desk a couple different times with no help. The food isn’t available all day. When we asked about food the front desk said “you’re calling the front desk.” The staff ruined this stay.
