I stayed at this property for two nights over Halloween weekend. Was in town for the Michigan State v Minnesota football game. Staff was helpful and accommodating. Hotel offers a shuttle to nearby TCF Stadium and any other nearby location if reserved in advance. Property has a warehouse/minimalist feel to it. Lots of energy in the lounge/lobby area on Friday... more

Had a wonderful stay this past week. This hotel is very clean. That's probably the most important factor when i am choosing a location. However there are very limited benefits for a Plantinum SPG member. more

The aloft is a few steps from the Mississippi River near St. Anthony's Falls in a restored area that was once the site of warehouses and flour mills. It's also just a couple of blocks from the Minnesota Superdome. Coffee houses and neat shops abound. The design is avant and the crowd is, too. We had fun. The rooms are... more

Our room wasn't cleaned until 6 pm the first day of our stay and had a very unpleasant odor in the room, the other family we were traveling with had the same issue with the unpleasant odor. It was difficult to get the lights in sync, when you turned on what you thought were the bathroom lights all the lights... more

Aloha, my foot! This hotel's motto of "aloha" was lost on us. After five phone calls at my expense directly to the hotel to straighten out a mistake in our three-room reservation, there was still confusion when we arrived. The check in desk was small, understaffed and usually overwhelmed. As for the hotel, the rooms are designed in the minimalist... more

I'm a big fan of these cheap chic hotels. I don't need people waiting on me hand and foot (which is I guess what characterizes a true luxury hotel) but I do appreciate hotels that try something different. Wireless internet is free. The TV has this super multimedia input box plugged into it which lets you plug in any device... more

I booked my guests a block of rooms at the Aloft for my wedding. They "forgot" to mention it was Seduction Night! A local seduction networking group was taking over the entire lobby. There must have been 500 people dressed in bikinis and hardly any clothes. My grandparents were greeted at the door by a women in body paint. Worst... more

Spent 3 days in Minneapolis and did not need a car. Aloft is a short walk from a light rail station and the Metrodome. Did the airport, baseball, shopping at Mall of America, Nicollet Mall, and went dancing 2 nights without having to drive once. Compare the price to other downtown hotels - this place provides free Internet, bottled water,... more

I reserved a room at this hotel because it appeared to be the closest to the Guthrie Theater, and indeed it is basically across the street. The concept of the hotel is very self-consciously hip, but not very high end. Fortunately, the pricetag also wasn't high end. I couldn't help but think that the furniture in my room would be... more
