I hadn't heard of aloft or that they were affiliated with W hotels. I got "stuck" here because everything else near my meeting was fully booked. But I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It's very contemporary, but it has a little bit of a vintage vibe. The best analogy I can think of is Bauhaus architecture. It used to be contemporary but is now somewhat retro. Very nice, polished lobby with a nice pool table and bar.
The room was nice. Bed was comfortable. Open, loft feel to the room with lots of recessed lighting. Bathroom was brand new and with a very stylish sink/faucet. The shower was a stand up, glass encased stall with frosted glass to the bedroom that allowed a lot of ambient light. Great big wall mounted TV in front of the bed.
I'd stay here again, but there were definitely two bummers about the room. 1) Despite the fact that it was a rain-style shower head, the water pressure was crap. Didn't feel like I got a good shower. 2) The bedroom had two giant glass windows but the only window treatments were thick pull down blinds. I much prefer shears so I can get privacy but allow ambient light. My room faced another building so I had to shut the blinds (or give the neighbors a show which believe me they wouldn't appreciate).
