Paper thin walls, uncoordinated staff that kept bothering us after we paid for late checkout
Cons. The hotel only had clearance from kayak for one night instead of the paid for two nights. And we were serially locked out of our room.
Pros. I liked the rooftop restaurant. The pool table in lobby was nice as well
Cons. Parking was $$$$
Pros. The front desk staff was very friendly and very respectfully always saying Goodmorning or have a Goodnight. It is a very very friendly and all inclusive hotel for any one to stay at. The aloft is a perfect place to stay if you want to be near all the stores. And a very clean and safe environment for everyone. The staff was incredible and I was very great full to stay at the aloft with such wonderful people. Would I stay at the aloft again yes I would.
Cons. Found multiple hairs in the room upon arrival on desk and counter tops. Room had NO towels until we called down to front desk. Elevators were in a sad state: disgusting freight pads lining the walls and creepy flickering blacklights as only source of light in elevator. Of the four different front desk staff we encountered, one was incredibly helpful & kind (male, mid 20s-30s) and the rest were utterly lackadaisical amd distracted by other issues, not sure what they were doing but they certainly did not make guests feel a priority whatsoever.
Pros. I Loved the fact that the hotel is in the Heart of Downtown Brooklyn. To which "Brooklyn" is now known as the "New Manhattan". Close to all transportation (Bus, Train, LIRR,) The BARCLAY's, JUNIOR's Restaurant, APPLE BEE's, SHOPPING (NORDSTROM RACK, POLO, MACY's, GAP, H&M, CHILDREN's PLACE & WALKING DISTANCE TO ATLANTIC CENTER MALL WHICH HAS TARGET, MARSHALL's etc)
Cons. I didn't like my view ( I had a partial view of street in rear). There is CONSTRUCTION NEARBY (but you will not hear it, HOTEL MUST BE SOUND-PROOF) I DID BOOK IT LAST MINUTE (the day of/Mother's Day).. The BLOCK IS VERY CLEAN TO WALK IN WITH SMOOTH PAVEMENT. BERY NICE HOTEL STAFF FROM THE TIME YOU WALK IN THE DOOR. LOBBY AREA VERY INVITING, IT EVEN HAS A POOL TABLE, BAR AREA, LOUNGE AREA, SIT & CHAT SECTION..SIMPLY COZY. HOPE THIS HELPS!
Pros. The proximity to the Brooklyn Hospital Center.
Cons. None
Pros. Well designed, aesthetically pleasing compact rooms. Reasonable rates, good location
Cons. These are hopefully only a temporary conditions for the hotel, but there was a lot of construction scaffolding around the front door, with the associated muddy drips and ducking around obstacles. The lobby itself was at first a little confusing, cluttered, cold and noisy. There's a lot of construction near the hotel as well. All likely temporary conditions
Pros. The adult king room was good size by NYC standards. Free wifi and modern amenities adds value too.
Cons. Heating unit was hard to work, the air was extremely dry. Bulky pillows. Shower system too complex.
Cons. The booking for this hotel was made on accident by my sister. When i tried to cancel the booking minutes later, or even reschedule so that I might be able to use it I was completely cutoff. I'm sure the hotel is nice enough, but I will never know what I paid for.
