Great experience. When we arrived (in the snow), the heat was not turned on in our room. It was 60 degrees! A little chilly. It eventually warmed up and was very comfortable. Maybe no one had stayed in the room recently and we certainly understand saving energy, but maybe just check when it is reserved!

All fine. Love the turn-table tv. Rooms a little stark in all honesty. No pics on wall. Whatever. Had good time.

Stayed here 3 nights during our college tours in the area. Loved the size of the hotel room. Easy parking in the garage right next door to the hotel. Great gym and pool to cool off. Lobby bar and pool table was a nice spot to hang out at night and relax. Loved the location too!

The staff at the Aloft went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable! The recent renovation is beautiful. The food for breakfast was great, and the bar was easily accessible and great service. I highly recommend this hotel!

We were in town for a Durham Bulls game -- excellent location!!!! We were able to wait in our room for the rain to pass :) Ate dinner across the street - excited for the new milkshake restaurant to open for our next visit. Staff exceedingly friendly and helpful. Hotel is busy but they were super calm and patient.
