The hotel charged me for the stay. It was prepaid thru Expedia and I’m waiting for a reversal

Stayed here 3 nights during our college tours in the area. Loved the size of the hotel room. Easy parking in the garage right next door to the hotel. Great gym and pool to cool off. Lobby bar and pool table was a nice spot to hang out at night and relax. Loved the location too!

The staff at the Aloft went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable! The recent renovation is beautiful. The food for breakfast was great, and the bar was easily accessible and great service. I highly recommend this hotel!

We were in town for a Durham Bulls game -- excellent location!!!! We were able to wait in our room for the rain to pass :) Ate dinner across the street - excited for the new milkshake restaurant to open for our next visit. Staff exceedingly friendly and helpful. Hotel is busy but they were super calm and patient.

So convenient to Durham Bulls stadium
5.0 / 5.0
I loved almost everything about this property. It was convenient for everything in Downtown Durham. It was modern with a bit of an industrial feel without being cold and unwelcoming. The room was vast. The bed was fantastic. If I had any complaints, the bathroom was small (I am not). The TV was supposed to be DirecTV, but something went wrong. They changed it, and we had only 20 channels and most of those were "news" channels. There were four pillows on the bed and all very soft. Perhaps one soft and one firm on each side of the bed? Other than that, amazing!!

We love staying here for the convenience to DPAC and downtown Durham. The rooms are very comfortable & clean and the staff is welcoming, friendly and professional. Until this visit, we were never awakened by trains in the middle of the night, but this time we were, with shrill whistle blasts.

Great location, comfortable stay, good service. We have stayed at this hotel several times—a convenient location to DPAC and Durham Bulls with walking distance restaurants.

The staff was super friendly, everything from check-in, passing staff in the elevators, and halls, to check-out. Also, this is literally next door to DPAC, so if you are going to a show there, extremely convenient!

I liked the convenient location to DPAC and the restaurant NanaSteak. Also, the area is very walkable to other restaurants and downtown Durham

Hotel was clean and has a convenient location. Parking is easy with garage near by. Only knock I had was there was construction happening during our stay so a bit noisy.
0.5 / 5.0
The hotel is under construction so the elevator and the hallways have a strong sulfur odor. For the price of this hotel, they Penny pinch for every additional cent. I booked the stay with breakfast included but that ONLY meant that I would have a $10 credit towards breakfast, not allowing for anything other than a wrap or sandwich that they warm in the oven and then hand to you over a counter but advertise as a “hot” breakfast. The wrap was pre frozen so when I bit into it, the middle was still cold. There are no microwaves in the room so rewarming it was not an option. If I had the chance to do it over, I WOULD NOT stay here again. I would book a 2 star hotel somewhere close by, as it would have been the same quality but for a lower price.

We were put in a brand new room. It was great.
Great staff.
4.0 / 5.0
Aloft was a great hotel.
The staff is all amazing- great service. Great rooms. I think it a bit overpriced for the amenities but it is in a great location. The water in the bathroom
did not have a good smell - almost like a rusted smell. Another disappointment was the small area to buy drinks and snacks. The coffee maker was “out of service” and I could only purchase my snack items by billling to my room because the payment system was down. At approx 300$ a night I see these as basic services. Cannot stress enough how wonderful the hotel staff is. From front desk to housekeeping. Great people. Thank you

Price for room high
2.0 / 5.0
1. We could have saved $150 off of our one-night stay if someone had told us about a senior discount.
2. There was a hair on the cup next to the bathroom sink.
3. The seat cushion on the bench in the room was tattered and scraped (unsightly).
4. The bath mat is frayed and tattered (so shabby).

Upon arrival at the reception area, the clerk said “credit card and ID”. No hello, how are you, are you checking in? Etc…. I found that to be very rude. I asked her if she didn’t want my name, and she said she could get that from my ID and credit card. Hummmm.
The water pressure in our sink was VERY low, and upon entering the room, the area smelled like dirty feet or shoes. Not pleasant.
The bathroom was clean, but I would have preferred more bedding than the top sheet surrounding a very thin duvet.

I stayed at Aloft over a long weekend to see a show at DPAC. Initially I had chosen the hotel due to its proximity to the theater, but was pleasantly surprised by how updated the hotel was and how nice my room was! My room was clean and quiet, parking was easy (although plan to check in on time if it's the day of a performance!) No complaints.
5.0 / 5.0
Nice and clean. Not a boutique hotel but clean and new. Great location to go to a Bulls game and cute restaurants near.
1.0 / 5.0
Not only do you pay for parking but they do not tell you that you may not be able to get in or out at times due to performing arts center events. Frequent train passing noise, as early as 6:15am. Room has an echo effect in it because lack of sound absorbing material and furniture.
3.0 / 5.0
The property was in a cool area and the bar and pool table were enjoyable. Staff was nice and helpful. Not much on amenities and charged for parking at such a high price for a room. The bathroom tile and walls needed updating and the rooms were far from luxurious. Bedding and mattress could have been better for the price. Overall, a decent hotel but expected a little more.

Great location and amazing staff, comfortable room, spacious, like having coffee/tea in room and the available snacks. Only issue was AC a little loud when came on but overall have enjoyed every Aloft stay.
2.0 / 5.0
People - front desk, house keeping, bar tender, cook -- all great. Needs an update and refresh. Huge room, but too little sitting opportunities in room. Only wall plugs for charging; no USB ports. Bathroom needs places to hang towel near sink and shower door. Shower needs a shelf and/or bench. Floor of shower was VERY slick -- big safety issue.
