Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff was amazing. However, when we got to our floor, it felt as if the air conditioner wasn’t working from the moment we stepped off of the elevator. When we got to our room, it was extremely hot and smelled as if the room had been shut off or not used for a long time. We found a dead bug on the bed. We were very surprised by this experience because we typically have an amazing experience at the Aloft.

The most convenient hotel - pet friendly and dogs stay on ground floor with an exit to outdoor walking area; easy free parking; convenient location to UF Vet School where I take my dogs; lobby bar. It has an area to purchase snacks and make coffee but does not serve any kind of breakfast. That is my only reason for 4 stars. Rooms are clean with coffee makes so I just bring my own bagels.
