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.

This Aloft needs better management / employees…everyone seems clueless

It was clean, very nice, newer hotel. Room was really nice and bed very comfortable. They have a nice gym that I was happy to use. Good parking.

Location to food and parka

Large, comfortable, clean rooms, and a great value. All reception staff members were wonderful and helpful. Nice having food and drinks available on site.

Staff was friendly. Our room was spacious and modern.

We always stay here for our trips to Gainesville. Great location, close to campus and lacrosse or baseball.

Comfort

Quiet welcoming

Clean, great location and family friendly

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.

Great!

The room was very clean and the staff very friendly. The hotel is in a nice quiet business area and it made me feel very safe. I have stayed another time in an ALoft hotel and will continue to stay with them in the future.

Just a very nice, modern, clean hotel. Very nice and comfortable.

Excellent hotel room was clean good checking experience and very safety

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.

The property was well maintained

Nice Hotel.

Its a very beautiful modern hotel which cant be beat for its price point. My only complaint is that the shower water pressure is very low.

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.

Our comforter had a stain on it so had to flip it at night and room was a little musty.otherwise it was a good stay

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

Great property. Clean, great beds and pillows.

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.

Very nice place, nice decoration. Loved the bar

Every thing was easy to get to staff was excellent and bartender Michele was outstanding

Excellent!

Match expectation.

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.

Easy parking.

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.

comfortable and convenient
