just a one nite stay, its ok, room product is hip and modern, but sort of annoyingly so. there is nothing to eat in this area, except a Ruby Tuesday across the street which was filthy.
staff at desk are fine, hi, checking in, heres your key. The little fridge at the desk has sandwiches in it, which work in a pinch. bottom line, you will survive a night.

Fit the bill - close to the airport, and part of Starwood. Room was nice - definitely geared towards the young male crowd (think car magazines in the room).

Staff was very nice and very helpful. Shuttle to the airport was right on time.

This hotel is excellent for runners of the Rock and Roll marathon. It is directly across the street from a light rail stop, so one can take the light rail to the expo and to the race. The down side is that it is on a highway and across the street from the light rail stop, and the light rail starts running before 6 a.m. on weekends. I was awake at that time anyway, so it didn't bother me, but I could see that it may bother others. The best part is the value. The marathon rate was only $99 per night. The rooms are small, but the bed was comfortable. There is a bar that has happy hour and a small pool. I will definitely stay there next year.

As long time Platinum members of Starwood we stay at many different properties. Our first stay at an Aloft property was a very pleasant surprise. Nice lobby, comfortable rooms and a great location. Close to Sky Harbor airport, restaurants, Phoenix Zoo and the main highways running thru the Phoenix area. We were really empressed with Julia, the gal that helped us with check-in and information about the hotel. We will definitely stay there again.
