Front desk girl was awful and very rude. I paid for a room ahead of time and once I got there a couple hours later they said they accidentally overbooked and didn’t have my Room and I had to fight hard for my refund.

2/10 Poor

We booked with Expedia well before our arrival. Arrived in town around and the hotel called shortly after to say they overbooked and because we were a 3rd party booking, we were cancelled first. Moved us to a hotel in another city! We had no advance notice and were already in town when they cancelled. We will never use or recommend this hotel to anyone. Just horrible business practice and customer service. 3rd party booking customers treated like they do not matter, with no concern for the huge inconvenience.

2/10 Poor

Although a hurricane past through the city, the property lost electricity to all rooms, and cable tv for majority of our stay. We evacuated to that city from Tallahassee. We assumed the hotel had a generator. We were told they had a generator, but it only covered their emergency system and elevators. Our stay was awful.

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel, new and hip with modern amenities in a safe feeling part of town. The room was clean and spacious, and staff was friendly. The main issue we ran into was the music in the outdoor lounge area not being turned off all night. We could hear the bass and beat of the music playing outside from inside our room even with white noise and the fan turned on. We thought maybe the lights and music would be turned off at midnight, but we woke up multiple times in the night even at 4am hearing the music. Additionally, the walls and floors seemed to be thin, we could hear the people above us pretty loudly. Overall great hotel, but with that one fairly major drawback.

First, walking into the lobby, so clean and modern, and fun appearing with a pool table, which we used, a full bar, large TV, a small snack store, lots of seating and a few games out on a large table. There also was a gym which had all you'd want for a vacation workout. All employees working in the lobby, from desk clerks to the bartender, very very professional and very friendly. The room was convenient and modern, nice up to date design. Had all we needed. We will definitely stay here again.

We booked this hotel to help move our daughter who attends UF. We stayed 2 nights and the second night when we arrived to the room our luggage was clearly searched without our consent. We had some cash and it was missing. We informed the reception. We think it might have been somebody from the cleaning crew. Bad experience.

Staff and hotel incredible. There were a group of people playing pool who were not guests & not buying drinks at the bar, that made me very uncomfortable. I’m all for inclusivity but not when people are randomly allowed to loiter are present. The hotel needs to have a better defined policy around that situation/

You can’t go wrong with Aloft
You can’t go wrong, we arrived late and tired and Tiana welcomed us kindly making the check in a breeze. Thanks Tiana! We enjoyed a couple of drinks at the bar served by the friendly Cameron and had a nice chat with manager Becky. Everyone was super nice and room was clean, spacious, bed super comfy! We had a nice breakfast before hitting the road again, very happy and would definitely stay again :)

4/10 Fair

I recommend avoiding this hotel on a busy weekend because there's a decent chance they would give away your room if you're not there before 8pm. They severely overbook rooms and they aren't prepared on how to handle it. Very understaffed also.
