    SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- 👍 great
    This Aloft pattern has grown on me. Each location has been impeccably clean; from the pool table to the elevator.
    The lounge felt especially hospitable & welcoming.
    Great customer service & hospitality was the icing on the cake.
    Cashless tips are supported, although they lack Tap Pay support for check-in.🤔 This would've made the process much more fluid, contactless, & quick.
    MVP employees: Denise was a sweetheart!
    ROOM -- 👍 good

    I enjoyed their take on this layout much than other Alofts. It felt very contemporary, open, & homey, featuring some very eye-catching rug & wallpaper patterns.
    Hardwood floors were well-maintained & having functional windows is always a nice surprise. Seating was a plush-like velvet & the pillows were even softer!
    Cons:
    the stock is extremely contemporary, which can be hit-or-miss if you're hoping to get any work done on the irregular table for example.
    The light fixtures (sconces) were also a nice design detail, but functional weak; Acoustics are not ideal if sharing space with another; insufficient tabletop space.
    BED -- 👍 great
    Great sleep, with excellent Tech-forward bedside utility: USB ports, Alexa, 3-prong outlets.
    Our mattress was the ideal firmness, providing good support through the night.
    Sheets were clean & breathable.
    Pillows were sufficient in size & quantity.
    Duvet cover isn't great, but the materials are smooth.
    BATH -- 👎 bad
    A Small split-bath configuration & streamline walk-in shower experience that was, ultimately, mediocre.
    The shower head was lackluster & is installed mockingly high. I had to use my full reach to adjust it; not great for the vertically challenged. On top of that, the water pressure was weak.
    Shower glass installation isn't sealed so there's existing water damage & leakage whenever used. Be sure to request extras towels in advance!
    The DryBar bath products were enjoyable to use at least.
    TV/ENTERTAINMENT -- 👍 great
    An amazing display with the status quo Marriott TV solution.
    I was impressed by the choice of mount & its mobility. The remote however, was cheap & often unresponsive/slow.
    A bedside Alexa is setup for extra convenience but we prefer to unplug these for obvious reasons.
    Lots of fun activities are available in and around the property, including: a pool, pool table, hot tub & a general-purpose lounge.
    WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION --👍 just "ok".
    The wireless network really isn't configured well, evident by the packet loss. Its also insecure.
    Speeds are bursty though so it's 'tolerable' if you have a travel router.
    Cell speeds (Verizon) were horrible inside the room.
    --Performance--
    Video streaming - average
    Online gaming - average
    Video chatting - average
    --Nerd Stats--
    22-124 Mbps download
    33-74 Mbps upload
    0.1% packet loss
    16 ms latency
    6 ms jitter
    FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 good
    DoorDash friendly for leisurely racking up more Marriott reward points.
    The breakfast offering is quite strong, but isn't included in the rate ($$$).
    A bar is also available in the lobby with some pretty decent drinks.
    in-room:
    ❌ microwave
    ✅ smart mini-fridge (small)
    ✅coffee
    ✅ tea
    ❌ wet-bar
    ❌ mini-bar
    NOISE -- 👎 poor
    I would avoid inner-facing rooms, Especially overlooking the pool.
    Doors opening and closing can be annoying on a more-occupied floor.
    LOCATION -- 👍 good
    In general it's a nice looking area & felt safe.
    Some chain restaurants are also walkable in the vicinity.
    RATING
    Price: $130.00/night
    Was it worth it: yes
    Best part: Hospitality
    Its ok.
    Strong in-person customer service was the highlight for me.
    Unfortunately it's not enough for the rates to be what they are (highest among 10 other hotels in the vicinity).
    Lukewarm recommendation.
    3.5/5 ⭐
