Front desk girl was awful and very rude. I paid for a room ahead of time and once I got there a couple hours later they said they accidentally overbooked and didn’t have my Room and I had to fight hard for my refund.

We booked this hotel to help move our daughter who attends UF. We stayed 2 nights and the second night when we arrived to the room our luggage was clearly searched without our consent. We had some cash and it was missing. We informed the reception. We think it might have been somebody from the cleaning crew. Bad experience.

Staff and hotel incredible. There were a group of people playing pool who were not guests & not buying drinks at the bar, that made me very uncomfortable. I’m all for inclusivity but not when people are randomly allowed to loiter are present. The hotel needs to have a better defined policy around that situation/

You can’t go wrong, we arrived late and tired and Tiana welcomed us kindly making the check in a breeze. Thanks Tiana! We enjoyed a couple of drinks at the bar served by the friendly Cameron and had a nice chat with manager Becky. Everyone was super nice and room was clean, spacious, bed super comfy! We had a nice breakfast before hitting the road again, very happy and would definitely stay again :)

I recommend avoiding this hotel on a busy weekend because there's a decent chance they would give away your room if you're not there before 8pm. They severely overbook rooms and they aren't prepared on how to handle it. Very understaffed also.

Upon entering the hotel you were greeted with a pool table, several options of seating and large TVs. It looked like a mini sports bar. Live music plays some nights as well. Check in was smooth and fast. The room was larger than most with a wall of shelving and spacious bathroom area . Unfortunately noise travels well in this room. Also the shower has no ledges to hold your toiletries. Your items have to be in the ground. Shaving was a bit of a challenge. This was the only area that needed attention to cleanliness. The sliding barn door was quite dirty when closed as well as a seating area under the television. I’m unsure if it was not working properly the lights above sink would not turn on unless lights above bed were on. Beds were very soft with plenty of pillows. A cute vintage alarm clock sat on the table. Electric outlets were across room as well. Another plus shades pulled down to block morning sun if you enjoy sleeping in. AC provided cold air with out issues. Hotel located near campus. I would stay again.

Pros: Aloft has very modern facilities and everything was impeccably clean. The bed was relatively comfortable. Although we didn't take advantage of them, there was a pool table in the lobby and an outdoor pool. Cons: When we stay at a hotel, we expect either to pay for a good breakfast, or that a fairly mediocre continental breakfast will be included with the room. Aloft does not offer free breakfast, and while the breakfasts sound good from the descriptions, we found them to be pre-prepared and reheated, with not much in the way of healthy offerings (the "steel-cut oats" were instant oatmeal, and did not come with milk -- that was extra.) Honestly, the free mediocre breakfast we have eaten at IHG and Hampton Inns were better. The front desk attendants were a little abrupt. There is also a bar on the first floor, which meant it could be a little noisy in the halls around closing time, but we only noticed that one night.

This Aloft is dog friendly. You can request the hall that opens into the lobby but also at the other end into the parking lot with grassy area for pets. Even have bags and disposal can. Don't have to go down an elevator or even in the lobby to take your dog out. Also has a nice bar in the lobby.

This is a mixed bag. But ultimately had to rate it a one. They double charged me and no one knows what’s going on. They are trying to tell me I stayed two nights. I had a high hold and questioned it when I checked in on Tuesday night. Then I saw some weird activity and called Thursday morning and was told it would be taken care of. Instead I was charged again for a nights stay. No one knows what they are doing they kept telling me it was a hold. Now it’s a charge also in my room there were snot rockets blown on the shower wall and the body wash was completely empty. Also had some black specs on the sheets in the bed. The overnight front desk person was helpful with the printer, but he never followed up when I alerted him on Thursday morning about potential charges. Will never stay here again when visiting Gainesville

I booked through hotels.com with paying at hotel. When I got to hotel I gave them a different card for incidentals and for them to charge the room. I specifically told them not to charge the card on file from hotels.com. They charged both cards for the full amount. My account got overdrawn and my bank charged me four overdraft fees because ALoft charged my card when I did not authorized them to!!!! Horrible customer service. They won’t help me with my fees or even give me any credit or anything. The “manager” stated that it was my problem. Makes me sad. And will never stay again. Beware.

It was ok, issues at check in (had prepaid with business card) and had me use my personal card because machine had an issue. Then they billed my personal card after I had already paid, had to get that fixed, hoping it did as of right now I’m double billed. Room was fine, shower was the worst water pressure I’ve ever seen.

We arrived later in the evening and the check in process was easy. However they gave us a room that was occupied. So we went back down to front desk and they were just as surprised as we were that someone was in there. They gave us another room, but this room only had towels for one person. We tried calling front desk only to find out the phone did not work. So we had to go back down to front desk to ask for more towels, which they gladly provided. The room was clean and had a comfortable bed. Staff was apologetic and helped resolve issues quickly. However, I don’t think we would use this hotel again because of the fact we were given a room that was already occupied, The staff were surprised it was occupied too. The room key they gave us actually worked to open that room door. I’m glad those occupants had their door latch engaged. Just beware in any hotel and use all the security available in your room.
