We stayed in the Aloft Ballantyne NC location the first two nights we stayed, then stayed at Aloft at the EpiCenter the last night.
1. The bed at this location was way more comfortable (I didn't wake up in pain like at the other location)
2. There were ear plugs in the room for guests to use, so I was expecting a loud night. It was almost entirely quite. Around 1 or 2 am there were some noisy people in a room near us but it wasn't crazy loud I was able to go to sleep.
3. I honestly thought this location seemed a little cleaner, I could tell it has been stayed at a lot but it didn't seem dirty.
4. We got a good deal on the room
Cons: PARKING = Expensive!
But, maybe you have to pay to get the "City Experience"
I actually don't know if I'd stay here again for the parking reason, other then that, yes I'd stay here again if I wanted to stay in the city.
