Great location downtown close to everything The place is really run down and in poor repair. One of the elevators was broken. Our air conditioning didn't work. The bathroom had rotted walls. The window was so dirty you could barley see outside. Everything in the whole place was in some sort of disrepair.

I was charged twice for a one night stay. I tried to resolve with the property and also by contacting customer support at hotels.com at different times but my requests were ignored. The property was not the cleanest and the pool could had used a bit more attention. First and last time staying.

A great bang for your buck. We stayed on a Sunday to Tuesday and Monday was a holiday so street parking was free. Pool was well maintained and the pool bar opened and the drinks were solid. All the staff was so helpful and so friendly. Room was clean and it was HUGE. The bathroom had so much space.

Stay was way over priced. There was no water pressure in the bathroom at all. That includes sink and shower. There is no parking without paying $50 for valet or $29 to park yourself. Tv barely worked. You have to figure out which remote does what to operate. Then to top it off after you pay for your room they charge another $150 which takes another week to reimburse. I will not waste my time or money at this place again.

The location is outstanding. Everything is within reach: restaurants, shops, and attractions are all nearby, making it incredibly convenient whether you’re traveling for business or leisure. I appreciated not having to travel far for meals or entertainment. For the price and amenities, this property offers excellent value. If you’re looking for a clean, well-run hotel with attentive staff and a convenient location in Houston, I’d highly recommend the Aloft.

- 5/5
We did book just a few weeks before and there were many events in town, so I'm sure inventory was low. We ended up in an ada room which was not ideal. The sliding door was a beast and there was no definition between the shower and toilet so the entire space got wet. This also meant for awkward dressing spaces with the bathroom being wet and needing privacy from other family members.

I reserved two queen beds in August. Without me knowing the hotel did not hold that reservation. Instead, my room came with one king bed and no advance notice was given of this and absolutely nothing was done to rectify this. Per the front desk, "we can check back in the morning to see if something opens. Our keys didn't work to get in the pool. Staff was not rude but they were absolutely no use when fixing the room situation.

Size of room and high ceilings. Very cheap coffee maker. Light above my bed did not work; I let front desk know and it was not fixed for the duration of my stay. I am blind in one eye and unfortunately need light to see well so was unable to work on my computer in the room which was very inconvenient and not expected. Workout room was decent but does not have up to date equipment including no spin bikes and the water dispenser didn't work so instead mini water bottles provided but these are small and difficult to use while running on treadmill.

However, after attending the baseball game and returning late room was even hotter than when we first got there so upon speaking to staff, they were able to accommodate us and move us and way colder room. Friendly staff, clean environment, will definitely stay there again.

My stay was far from ideal. The escalator was out of service, and the elevator moved at a frustratingly slow pace. Shockingly, some windows in the room had visible bullet holes, which raised serious safety concerns. The third-floor hallway was wet and slippery, and to top it off, the air conditioning failed during my visit. Overall, the experience was disappointing and unsettling.

Was looking forward to a weekend getaway. Had tickets to the Astros game for Saturday night. Check in was uneventful with very nice people working. Valet was a hoot. Got room keys and off we go to our room. Exit the elevator on the 3rd floor and you are greeted to the very pungent aroma of marijuana being smoked somewhere in the vicinity of our floor. Got to the room and the smell had permeated into the room. Sheets and pillows smelled of it, towels as well. By the end of the stay the clothes in our suitcases smelled of it. I was concerned about driving home on Sunday because there was no way a cop wouldn't think my wife and I weren't stoned out of our minds in the event we got pulled over. We notified the front desk but I'm sure little to no effort was put into locating the culprit. Large signs in the lobby another located by the elevator and a card in the room all stating no smoking property. I was young once I liked to party as much as the next guy but I was a little more discreet when I was smoking a joint. Overall the property was nice and the staff was great however I will stay somewhere else from now on. A few bad apples have spoiled it for me!

The elevator was under construction so the wait for one was so long. There were no baggage carts available that didn’t help with there only being one elevator. My room has a continuous noise that sounded just like a mouse. The staff was great super friendly, polite and helpful.
- 2/5
However, I did want to mention that during this particular stay, we encountered an issue with excessive noise outside our room, which unfortunately made it difficult for us to rest. Despite our efforts to relax, the noise repeatedly woke us up throughout the night. We understand that some situations may be beyond your control, but I wanted to share this feedback so it can be taken into consideration. We truly value the service and atmosphere at your hotel, and we look forward to staying with you again in the future. Warm regards, ERICA CASTILLO

We loved our stay at Aloft! It’s in a great location and the king room is spacious with a great sized bathroom as well. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and found the drinks to be reasonably priced. The only issue we found is that the air flow in the room was not ideal, leading it to be fairly warm at night. We may have needed to turn the air down much cooler. Otherwise everything was clean, felt updated and well-maintained and in great walking distance from activities in the area. Would happily stay again!

Several leaks throughout the building, resulting in an awful smell throughout the hallways due to wet carpet. Staff was very friendly and extremely helpful.

Soon as you walk through the entrance door, it’s smells like sewage, getting the room thru this third party app and not knowing what your room will look like is not cool. My boyfriend and I picked a king size room, but when we got there it was no view just a window facing a wall, that was wack, I advised the staff as my key wouldn’t unlock the doors to the roof top, about my room she said she would see what she could do, and she said she get us another key card, well yeah she never contacted us… traveled far just to not get a window view and stared at a wall the whole time I was there in that room….
