Aloft College Station

This is a review over the course of a year of staying here at this location on and off. The hotel as a whole caters to the average entrepreneur or adventurer that does quite a bit of traveling. But it does meet the needs of bringing a family out for a vacation and good time. With plenty of games available for the kids in the lobby as well as a newly redone pool table. The dim lights in the rooms help with ease of eyes and the beds are always soft and clean. I won’t lie, occasionally there’s some messes and some minor things that could be touched up, like new paint in the gym but there’s new patio furniture, newly redone rooms, and the lobby has an open bar most days. James, the general manager, great man. He, Kassidee the assistant manager, Brittany, Joyce, Kierra and Yolonda, all of them are wonderful staff with friendly smiles who will go above and beyond to meet the needs of each guest and give their all. The house keepers, all of them are just fantastic at what they do. I didn’t get most of their names mainly because I didn’t see them that often, but they worked their butts off to make every room look brand new. Overall, this hotel is a great stay at a great price. 8/10 would recommend. Only thing I’d like is if they had an on-site restaurant. But they have plenty of snacks, food and drinks available for purchase.

I'm not a fan. No microwave in the room. This was my 3rd time staying in an Aloft hotel. This particular time this location had an electrical issue. Elevators didn't work, key pad didn't work. You had to walk up flights of stairs to your room and someone had to let you in. So if you wanted to go out you had to repeat the process. I don't like that they don't at least have a continental breakfast and even if you brought food you have to leave out your room to heat it up. I'm not a big fan.

Clean, decent rooms with nice workspaces and reliable WiFi. The floor in the shower is just as slippery as it ever has been the other times I've stayed here. This time in room 230, the air conditioner wasn't working too well either, but I travel with a small fan, plus the weather was actually OK. Otherwise, the conditions may have been worse. I set it on 70 the first night, but it never got below 73...I set it on 68 the next night, again never below 73....tried turning it off and turning it on again and setting it on 65, still sat at 73. I luckily was out for business during the day, so I only had to 'suffer' at night. It wasn't enough to complain to the front desk, but it's noteworthy for a less-complacent guest. The surprise wake-up call by the fire alarm was a little startling, but after looking out my door and seeing the firemen saying there was no fire, all was well. There needs to be a little more lighting and a few more places to hang things (towels, toiletries, etc.). Would be cool if there was just ONE soap dish/shelf in the shower too. This is a nice little hotel in a great location, I just wish some of the tiny details were taken care of.

I stayed at the Aloft Hotel as my apartment was having AC issues fixed. The room was clean and ok. No microwave oven in the room. And, the Wi-Fi didn't work very well. However, there were billing issues from my apartments credit card as they were paying for the hotel room. The general manager is a very nice and professional lady named Andee. She took care of the billing issues very easily. I would stay at this hotel again just because of Andee.

So were to start, we checked in and got to our room Friday. We were in town to help family move into their new home, got back to find the elevator was broken, my wife has a bad foot and knee, so up the stairs we go, get to the room , bed not made, no clean towels, no coffee ......, we tried to call front desk, phone doesn't work, call on cell finally answer after multiple attempts. I know this isn't the George ,where we usually stay, but dang it, after reading the reviews maybe then GM might get a handle on some of this repeated sub standard performance, and apologies just run short. We won't be back. P.S. Free breakfast will not break the Marriott Group.
