    Would not recommend with young children. Homeless population is HUGE around this hotel. Would not go back with so many other options in the city.

    My only drawback was the parking. I didn’t realize until later that the hotel had sent a message through Expedia explaining that the nearby Fannin Garage offered parking for $30 per day. We ended up paying about $95 total for parking over our two-day stay, when the daily rate would have been about $60 total, a difference of roughly $35. I definitely recommend checking your Expedia messages before arriving so you can plan your parking in advance. Other than the parking confusion, we had a very good experience and enjoyed our stay.

    Hotel and service was great. Room was nice and the mirror in the restroom area was great for pictures! The room smelled so good as well don’t know if they use a scent diffuser through the air system .. Wish the room had a bit more plugs with a bigger tv haha! but that’s okay. Also be prepared to possibly get a view of a concrete wall .. but for the most part staff was great and overall hotel was good!

    The rooftop bar and pool are useless. The “pool” is very small, there is no shade or misters on the patio and the bar was not very well stocked. Also, the bathrooms are dangerously hot. The restaurant was closed, and the lobby bar was only open on Saturday night. We selected this hotel specifically for the amenities so it was a complete waste of money.

    My first room, the door didn’t lock, and there was food in the refrigerator. So I requested a new room where the door locked, but the light above the sink didn’t work and I needed to do my makeup by flashlight. The room didn’t have a rack to uphold luggage so I had to use the ironing board. The room was big, but there was so much empty space that should’ve had more table to be properly utilized. The staff themselves were fantastic, helpful, and quite accommodating with all my needs from the issues with the room.

    The place is really run down and in poor repair. One of the elevators was broken. Our air conditioning didn't work. The bathroom had rotted walls. The window was so dirty you could barley see outside. Everything in the whole place was in some sort of disrepair.

    I was charged twice for a one night stay. I tried to resolve with the property and also by contacting customer support at hotels.com at different times but my requests were ignored. The property was not the cleanest and the pool could had used a bit more attention. First and last time staying.

    A great bang for your buck. We stayed on a Sunday to Tuesday and Monday was a holiday so street parking was free. Pool was well maintained and the pool bar opened and the drinks were solid.

    Stay was way over priced. There was no water pressure in the bathroom at all. That includes sink and shower. There is no parking without paying $50 for valet or $29 to park yourself. Tv barely worked. You have to figure out which remote does what to operate. Then to top it off after you pay for your room they charge another $150 which takes another week to reimburse. I will not waste my time or money at this place again.

    The location is outstanding. Everything is within reach: restaurants, shops, and attractions are all nearby, making it incredibly convenient whether you’re traveling for business or leisure. I appreciated not having to travel far for meals or entertainment. For the price and amenities, this property offers excellent value. If you’re looking for a clean, well-run hotel with attentive staff and a convenient location in Houston, I’d highly recommend the Aloft.

    We did book just a few weeks before and there were many events in town, so I'm sure inventory was low. We ended up in an ada room which was not ideal. The sliding door was a beast and there was no definition between the shower and toilet so the entire space got wet. This also meant for awkward dressing spaces with the bathroom being wet and needing privacy from other family members.

    I reserved two queen beds in August. Without me knowing the hotel did not hold that reservation. Instead, my room came with one king bed and no advance notice was given of this and absolutely nothing was done to rectify this. Per the front desk, "we can check back in the morning to see if something opens. Our keys didn't work to get in the pool. Staff was not rude but they were absolutely no use when fixing the room situation.

However, after attending the baseball game and returning late room was even hotter than when we first got there so upon speaking to staff, they were able to accommodate us and move us and way colder room. Friendly staff, clean environment, will definitely stay there again.

    My stay was far from ideal. The escalator was out of service, and the elevator moved at a frustratingly slow pace. Shockingly, some windows in the room had visible bullet holes, which raised serious safety concerns. The third-floor hallway was wet and slippery, and to top it off, the air conditioning failed during my visit. Overall, the experience was disappointing and unsettling.

    Was looking forward to a weekend getaway. Had tickets to the Astros game for Saturday night. Check in was uneventful with very nice people working. Valet was a hoot. Got room keys and off we go to our room. Exit the elevator on the 3rd floor and you are greeted to the very pungent aroma of marijuana being smoked somewhere in the vicinity of our floor. Got to the room and the smell had permeated into the room. Sheets and pillows smelled of it, towels as well. By the end of the stay the clothes in our suitcases smelled of it. I was concerned about driving home on Sunday because there was no way a cop wouldn't think my wife and I weren't stoned out of our minds in the event we got pulled over. We notified the front desk but I'm sure little to no effort was put into locating the culprit. Large signs in the lobby another located by the elevator and a card in the room all stating no smoking property. I was young once I liked to party as much as the next guy but I was a little more discreet when I was smoking a joint. Overall the property was nice and the staff was great however I will stay somewhere else from now on. A few bad apples have spoiled it for me!
