I was a bit apprehensive to stay here after reading the reviews, and I contacted the manager with my concerns. As a result, the staff went far above and beyond to make my stay - which was to rest before and after one day surgery - comfortable. Not only was my request honored for a quiet room location, but they... More

Kind of a funky concept. I have never really liked the soap dispenser concept in the shower so that is not great. Room nice, bed comfortable, great TV and LOVED that the blinds are easy and make the room dark. However - the hall noise is awful You can hear every word people say. Doors shutting sound like a canon... More

Another hotel in W Hotel group of Starwood, it appears the Aloft is a scaled down experience from the W Hotels (see previous review). The hotel is part of the Epicenter which means it is in the center of downtown and close to lots of dining options. The hotel has a very contemporary vibe (something I enjoy). The lounge was... More

The hotel itself is reasonably nice - central, clean and well kept, reasonably priced, and allows dogs. The staff is really friendly too. We had some problems during our trip though - I can't fault the hotel but I wouldn't stay here again. First off, the parking is a public garage which was too low for our roof carrier. We... More

Dear rcktMAN, I am so glad to hear that the service within our control was appreciated; primarily relative to cleanliness and friendliness. On the flip side, I am so sorry to hear of the challenges that you encountered with the roof-top car carrier and next-door impromptu singers! Our "hip" location and hotel invites a celebratory crowd at times; I apologize... More

Aloft is a great value hotel right in EpiCenter—an area full of restaurants and entertainment in the center of Charlotte. Aloft is a comfortable, clean, and conveniently located 3-star hotel. The staff is friendly. The room was spacious and bed was quite comfortable. The bathroom/shower were also clean. The only weird thing was that the sliding door to the bathroom... More

Stayed here on business an was impressed with the hotel, personnel, amenities. Located right on the downtown mall with good restaurants and shopping. There is no in house restaurant but plenty of choices right there. The room was like any other Aloft room I've stayed in. Not huge but comfortable. The cardio room was the best I've seen with new...

I really enjoyed my one night stay at the Aloft hotel in Charlotte epicenter. It was close to restaurants and Whiskey River (the purpose of our stay was to visit this bar owned by NASCAR's most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr). It was a funky, modern hotel with a hip vibe. I loved it. Our room was small, but very... More

To begin with, parking is terrible. You had to pay to park, and it took forever to find a spot, we went around and around looking for a space. Once we found a space we had to go up stairs and then an elevator - it was not easy getting to the lobby of the hotel. When we got into... More
