A Lot Bad and A Little Good at Aloft Dallas
Took my 2 boys and wife to Dallas for a long weekend. We stay 2 nights, Friday and Saturday, at the Aloft Downtown Hotel. Overall experience at the hotel was very poor, however there were a couple good aspects.
The Bad:
 A/C did not work good in my room, asked for a fan but the hotel didn't have one.
 Bed was not comfortable and pillows were over stuffed resulting in a stiff neck each morning.
 Very Loud at night. The hotel is marketed to the 21 to 32 yr old, therefore loud, late nights are inevitable. We returned from dinner Saturday night at 9:30pm to a base pumping, girls screaming, wall pounding, full on pre-party. They eventually left for the evening, but returned for post party at 2:30am. Room doors opened and closed throughout the early morning hours. I felt like i was back in the frat house. Did not get much sleep.
 TV only worked at times and you couldn't rent movies in your room.
 $18 per night for uncovered, unsecured, high traffic volume parking was not a good peace of mind for my car. 
 After searching hotwire for a good deal and booking on the Aloft website I actually found a better deal on Aloft website. I called the hotel directly to see if they could change the rate but they we unable to. We agreed to a $48 house credit. When I received my bill they pre-charged me for the $48 instead of giving me a credit. Too pissed and a long line at checkout to fight it.
 Concession stand style dinning was less than desirable. Pancakes were premade heat and go and eggs were liquid from a bag eggs. Not fresh and cheaply made.
The Good:
 Hotel and Loft style room was unique.
 Room was clean.
 Pool and fitness area was nice.
 Staff removed loud neighbors at 3:30am, but wish I didn't stay at a hotel that attracted such the cliental that required being removed.
 I WILL NOT STAY AT AN ALOFT AGAIN OR RECOMMEND ALOFT
