Pros (+) Room was clean , bright and comfortable
Cons (-) The front desk staff could have been more accomadating . Water from faucet was so cloudy it looked like bleach. When another water bottle was requested due to this condition, we were told several times that "there is only one water bottle per room".

Pros (+) I liked the location as I chose it to be close to an interview location I was going to an interview nearby at Columbia University. The bathroom was decent, and clean, but the shower was very low flow and kinda cold. This was not a gold elite status experience.
Cons (-) The room was very old, dark and the bedding was uncomfortable and stinky. I arrived very late and had an intervuew at 6:30 am so I could not discuss the situation with the hotel immediatly. I woke up at 4 because the smell of the bed was so overwhelming and it felt dirty. There was a party downstairs and I could hear it all in my room.

FAQs when booking at Aloft Harlem

  • What makes a stay at Aloft Harlem unique?

    The vibe at Aloft Harlem is what truly sets it apart from any other accommodation you've experienced. From the moment you walk into the lobby, you will feel the energy of the industrial-chic decor. Cement walls and pillars, along with exposed vents, work as a counterpoint to avant-garde art on the walls, comfortable and vibrant furnishings, and hits of bright color peppering the hotel throughout the public spaces and guest rooms. A chair will be turquoise, a painting on the wall will be dominated by splashes of bright red, and sculptures placed throughout the hotel will be bright pinks, yellows, and greens. And in this trendy setting, Aloft Harlem makes you feel at home with all-day free water and coffee available in the lobby.

  • What is the pet policy at Aloft Harlem?

    You might not expect it from such a chic accommodation, but Aloft Harlem is a pet-friendly hotel. Aloft Harlem welcomes guests with up to two pets per room for a non-refundable fee per night. The maximum pet weight permitted is 40 lb. Since this hotel designates particular guest rooms as pet friendly, it is important that you mention when you're making your reservation that you will be bringing a pet or pets.
