    The hotel was exceptionally clean and stylish!!! All the staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast provided a lot of choices, from bagels to hot foods to cereal, etc. The bed was very comfortable, and my room was spotless. For the most part, it was peaceful (can't control people slamming the doors when they leave smh). The location was close to various restaurants and gas stations. Oh, and they are pet friendly ($25 per pet/per night). I will definitely return.

    We were traveling home to Florida with our small dog. We searched exhaustingly for a “pet friendly” hotel. All we encountered required a $75 non-refundable pet fee. Not so pet friendly after all. Finally, we found Aloft Hotel on hotel.com. Lo and behold, they were truly pet friendly, and did not require any additional fee. They even provided a doggie goodie bag! We were happily impressed.
