“Dependable and Consistent”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

I've now started "searching out" other locations that the Aloft have available, as my wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed every stay. We have stayed at both of the locations in Charlotte, and now in other cities as well. Their decor is stylish and updated, it's their attention to detail which gets me. Better than some of the 5 Star places i've stayed recently (Miami). Their front desk people have remembered me from a few trips and even commented the last time i was in charlotte (daughter was having first grandchild), that we must really enjoy our stay. The rooms are more than sufficient for the single traveller (and even couples). I never have hesitancy in inviting family/friends to meet me in the lobby as it's both nicely appointed and bar is full service. While not having a full fledge restaurant, it does have good short order cook for b'fast etc, but i've never really missed not having a restaurant on property. Great value. I'm heading there this weekend to see my kids and plan on enjoying just as much as last time! Keep up the great work guys!

“Great Find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

We recently stayed here after winning a "night out" from a raffle. The hotel has a "hip" feel to it, but not to the point where you feel out of place. The full service bar was a surprise! It felt more like a big hotel bar than a corporate hotel bar...very cool indeed. Our room was clean, quiet (top floor) and the appointments were perfect. All in all, a great stay.

“Just exactly what I expect and appreciate”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

The Hotel is stylish with a very nice bar with live music once a week. Rooms are also very nice and convenient. The interiour is modern with a bit retro. Room service is very good, so is the service at the front desk. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
The hotel does not have a restaurent - however I did not miss it. Snacks and drinks are available. Hotel offers breakfast but not in the usual way. They have a small kitchen where breakfast can be ordered, there is a coffee machine and a fridge with e.g. fruits and joghurt as well as some pastries. All arranged around one big table. Just perfect for a quick breakfast before you head out to work.

“Build more of these and I'll start ditching Hilton”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

Night and day between this and the extended stay dive that I was forced to use because all of the hotels in Ballantyne were full.

I liked the layout of the room, while not large, it was very functional, ergonomic and well thought out. It smelled very nice and everything appeared fresh, new and clean. Comfortable bed.

The hotel touts energy efficiency, but the A/C has no motion detection and you're given two key cards at check in, so most people would leave one in the activation socket (that powers the room) and leave everything on. I think the thermostat might misstate the temp (first time I've ever been warm at 71F) The A/C is a little noisy and I'm glad I didn't need it running while I slept.

Noise was acceptable, (which I'm sensitive to) even with my room being at the front, just above the canopy. Some sound leaked in from the corridor and seemed to bounce of the front wall over the separator, but there's little the hotel can do to control inconsiderate people that use their outdoor voice to say goodnight in the corridor past 11pm.

I would definitely stay again, although I'll be checking out another hotel during my extended assignment, (if it's much worse, I'll try to return here) I think this one will really take some beating.

Hi there NCLimey

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to review our Aloft in Ballantyne. I am glad that we met your expectations and we would love you to come and back and stay with us. We do have a couple of slightly larger rooms and can provide a microwave if you are looking for an extended stay. Our rooms do actually have motion detection and infared detection for the a/c units but they are on time delay and activate after someone has left the room for over an hour. They then activate when you return to set the room back to your desired temperature. The key card only works for the main lighting in the room so it doesnt affect your a/c. Please contact me at ajones@aloftcharlotteballantyne.com and I will be glad to see what I can do for you in regards to an extended stay rate or help find you the right hotel for your needs

Cheers
