The place was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff was friendly and very helpful. My bed felt like a cloud it was so soft. I got some good sleep. The breakfast was excellent.. garlic butter grits, English muffin , omelette , bacon, fresh fruits and orange juice. Maaaaaannnnn it was a breakfast. That’s how you wake up at a hotel. It’s was excellent for me. I really enjoyed my room and my stay and will definitely be going back.

    The hotel was exceptionally clean and stylish!!! All the staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast provided a lot of choices, from bagels to hot foods to cereal, etc. The bed was very comfortable, and my room was spotless. For the most part, it was peaceful (can't control people slamming the doors when they leave smh). The location was close to various restaurants and gas stations. Oh, and they are pet friendly ($25 per pet/per night). I will definitely return.

    I really liked the location of this hotel, and the hotel felt safe and protected (this is important, as I was traveling alone and arriving late evening). I love that the hotel is dog friendly and there is lots of grassy space available within the hotel grounds to walk the dogs. The room was a good size and clean.

    We were traveling home to Florida with our small dog. We searched exhaustingly for a “pet friendly” hotel. All we encountered required a $75 non-refundable pet fee. Not so pet friendly after all. Finally, we found Aloft Hotel on hotel.com. Lo and behold, they were truly pet friendly, and did not require any additional fee. They even provided a doggie goodie bag! We were happily impressed.
