First, walking into the lobby, so clean and modern, and fun appearing with a pool table, which we used, a full bar, large TV, a small snack store, lots of seating and a few games out on a large table. There also was a gym which had all you'd want for a vacation workout. All employees working in the lobby, from desk clerks to the bartender, very very professional and very friendly. The room was convenient and modern, nice up to date design. Had all we needed. We will definitely stay here again.

We booked this hotel to help move our daughter who attends UF. We stayed 2 nights and the second night when we arrived to the room our luggage was clearly searched without our consent. We had some cash and it was missing. We informed the reception. We think it might have been somebody from the cleaning crew. Bad experience.

I recommend avoiding this hotel on a busy weekend because there's a decent chance they would give away your room if you're not there before 8pm. They severely overbook rooms and they aren't prepared on how to handle it. Very understaffed also.

Pros: Aloft has very modern facilities and everything was impeccably clean. The bed was relatively comfortable. Although we didn't take advantage of them, there was a pool table in the lobby and an outdoor pool. Cons: When we stay at a hotel, we expect either to pay for a good breakfast, or that a fairly mediocre continental breakfast will be included with the room. Aloft does not offer free breakfast, and while the breakfasts sound good from the descriptions, we found them to be pre-prepared and reheated, with not much in the way of healthy offerings (the "steel-cut oats" were instant oatmeal, and did not come with milk -- that was extra.) Honestly, the free mediocre breakfast we have eaten at IHG and Hampton Inns were better. The front desk attendants were a little abrupt. There is also a bar on the first floor, which meant it could be a little noisy in the halls around closing time, but we only noticed that one night.

This Aloft is dog friendly. You can request the hall that opens into the lobby but also at the other end into the parking lot with grassy area for pets. Even have bags and disposal can. Don't have to go down an elevator or even in the lobby to take your dog out. Also has a nice bar in the lobby.
