Great place, location and perks.
Pros:

The best thing was Mark - the van driver. He greeted us in the lobby and said, - if you need a ride let me know. It was pouring out and he did just that!!! What a perk!
And the breakfast / hang out area / little store was perfect !

Cons:

I couldn't get our room into AC mode

Pros:

I loved the lobby and the corner bench seating.

Cons:

I didn't like that the TV is cut off from view in the bathroom. Made it hard to watch a show while getting ready to go out. I also thought the shower was SO SMALL compared to how big the bathroom actually was. We requested our room get cleans (trash emptied, floor swept) and they never came which was disappointing. I also thought the water pressure was terrible

Very Convenient Location & Great Value!
Pros:

The location was perfect! The rooms are nice & the lobby area as well. Staff was very helpful including the drivers for the shuttle. So accommodating!!! Would come back here in a minute & highly recommend!

Cons:

The floors need to be mopped not just swept...there was something sticky on them & it never got cleaned up. Also, in the US; usually the sheet is what is closest to you & the duvet/comforter or coverlet is on TOP. Not the case here on how the beds were made.

need to think if we will go back due to not cleaning the room at all
Cons:

since we got there until we left, they never came in to clean the room. I let the front desk know on Sunday and they should clean it today; without our suprise the room was never cleaned. It was very suprised for what we paid, never cleaned the room or ask if we needed anything.

we need to think twice if we go back to the hotel.

Cons:

Parking was a problem and with no comp or discount rate for staying at Aloft in the garage the front office recommended. It was stated they had an arrangement.
