The place was perfectly set up and extremely clean. I can't say enough about it and beside all that; it's a deal. The way they price the venue your food and drink order works against that..you won't get a better deal for such a high quality place with great parking, exceptional food and service thats second to none.

If you've stayed at other Alofts, this location stays consistent with the brand…read more The Good: -Gym is pretty decent for getting what you need done: small-free weight rack, leg press machine, pull-up/pulley exercise trainer, and a couple treadmills. -Very friendly and attentive staff -Nice bar area downstairs -Overall a clean facility -A quick drive to downtown and freeway. The Not so Good: -Did not love the breakfast selections (received one voucher per day redeemable for one item). Out of the breakfast burrito both days, and the breakfast biscuit was something found in the frozen section. Cinnamon roll was so dry I didn't even bother eating it. -If your room faces the road, it can be noisy at times with loud cars. Not bad, but not great.

Nice clean bathroom with Dry Bar shampoos and Conditioner which is one of my favorite brands! Nice clean mini fridge, coffee machine - impressed ! This will be my go to when I work in this sea

There were a few folks there selling things but it was pretty deserted. There's a stairway up to a higher level where the artists work but being the holiday season it was also pretty empty. The employee was very nice and was giving recommendations about a certain artist to check out. The parking situation is limited and you'll have to find a street spot or pay to be in a lot.
