Checked in at 1:00am for a quick overnight while traveling for the holidays. I had pre-booked the room via SPG app while driving. The hotel is what you would expect from Aloft - clean, colorful, and comfortable. Very reasonable rates.
It's down a side street, over a hill and through the woods... Not really through the woods, but it's off the main roads a bit, but right in the warehouse district.
Tips:
Do not choose the river view room. The view isn't great and there's a train "nearby" as our front desk person said (actually right outside the rooms) and it whistles often. Very loudly. I'm not sure how much better the city side is, but it has to be better.
Valet is expensive, but still cheaper than self-park.
Breakfast available for purchase (or points) in the lobby. Not a good value for purchase. Good value for points.
