Cons (-) The bed was a joke. Don't even bother unless you don't feel like sleeping.
Pros (+) comfy beds right in the center of downtown! Small hiccup during check-in, but they bought us breakfast without any prompting. First class service!
Cons (-) Would have been nice to know that parking would be $25 for being there less than 12 hours! I also didn't realize the otel price listing on Kayak was before taxes - why not include that? Knowing both of these would likely have changed my decision.
Pros (+) I didn't like anything about this hotel , staff was nasty hotel smelt like a cheap strip club upon entry. Parking was $23 a day and didn't find that out until I was down there. No street level entrance which is really fun on Friday night , oh and after I finally get on the elevator and get on to my floor there was someone formicatong right when I walked out.
Pros (+) Charlotte is a fun city. The staff were all awesome and super friendly.
Pros (+) I love aloft hotels. I love the location!! Perfect area!!
Cons (-) It was not as clean as other aloft I stayed at.
Pros (+) I loved the amenities, pool table, indoor pool, the view. We took 2 teens ( 17 yr) olds and Aloft was upbeat and fun and the staff was accommodating! We just loved it. Beds comfortable, rooms clean!
Cons (-) Parking was a little weird. We ended up valeting for $20 a day and then of course the gratuity every time we used the car. It was just an expense of the trip. I think it's a Charlotte thing, not an Aloft thing.
Pros (+) Location
Cons (-) They do not have an ice machine (bags available in the lobby), limited amenities, ac did not work properly, elevator takes forever
Pros (+) Great location
Cons (-) Kind of felt like a hipster hostile, not very clean, mediocre at best
