Spouse and I stayed last weekend Nov 6 & 7, Friday & Saturday. I was shocked at how run down the lobby area has become! We stay here several times a year. This place used to be so nice and used to feel casual/upscale. Cloth ottomans are FILTHY, furniture run down, but my BIG beef was that Saturday morning , we met my son downstairs for coffee about 9:30 ( surely a reasonable time for staff to have cleaned from the night before) we moved twice to find a place to sit that didn't feel grungy, and when we settled for seats by the fireplace both of our end tables were covered with sticky ring marks from the last nights cocktails! A magazine was stuck to the table! We went to sit out on ottomans by the pool and what looked like a spilled Coke cocktail was in a puddle on ottoman, along with wet drip marks from dewy night. Cig buts in the plants and on pool deck. What was most un Aloft like- was that when we came back down at 1:30 to grab lunch, nothing had been cleaned! But some very little child had walked through the puddle of Coke on the ottoman and left footprints! Gross !when we came back at 4:30, someone was just emptying patio trash, footprints and puddle still on ottomans! Aloft Staff was still great as ever and our room looked fine, but there wasn't a wastebasket liner in any one of the three baskets that were in there! Gross if you have to throw beverage cans or food containers way! Never mind, the bathroom. Hope that this was just a one time weekend mismanagement mishap, because we like to stay at Aloft.
