Pros:

I apologize in advance, I am so awful with names, but the woman with the beautiful piercings who checked us in was so kind to us and extremely informative; she seemed like she genuinely enjoyed her job and hearing her talk with (what I assume to be) “regulars” was really sweet. Our room was very pristine and comfy as well! We were in STL to visit a family member in hospital so to have this place be so wonderful was such a relief in such an emotional time. Bless the staff here <3

Cons:

I feel like I needed more signs telling me where elevators are LOL, but nothing really that we didn’t enjoy!

Cons:

The breakfast was terrible I ordered 2 sausage egg and cheese and the sausage was cold I had to go all the way back downstairs to use microwave to heat it up

Disappointed in everything aside from the bed/room.
Pros:

The room itself was nice and clean. Only complaint is there was no bathroom door and a giant mirror that faced the bathroom in between the bedroom and bathroom. You could see the bathroom from the bedroom with no door. So if you’re not staying with your significant other it is VERY uncomfortable to shower

Cons:

Parking sucked bad. Was told I could park on the street and pay by the hour so I did that, was paying on their app hourly and still got a ticket that I now have to call and fight. Other option was parking in a parking lot to the side of the building but parking was $25/day and when I tried to park there it was out of order forcing me to use the valet parking option for $38/day. Breakfast was also a joke, I paid on the front end to have breakfast included and I wish I didn’t had I known it wasn’t going to be your typical continental breakfast. Which it was advertised as continental breakfast. This was a few options that you got to pick one of and they were out of the coffee that was supposed to come with it. Also out of the oatmeal. We didn’t even use our breakfast coupon the next day because we were so unimpressed. Staff was hit or miss on friendliness.

disappointing customer service
Pros:

-Very close to work.
-nice room

Cons:

i had to dug myself out of the parking lot during my stay on Jan 24-25,2026. I stayed on these dates because of the snow storm but I ended up walking to my work because the parking lot was not plowed, snow was too deep to navigate. Front desk told me it’s not their responsibility because Aloft does not own the parking lot but I paid 25$ per night to park in the enclosed lot. It was very disappointing as a customer.
