What guests think

Aloft Harlem draws praise for its friendly staff, walkable Harlem location near the subway and Columbia, and a lobby bar with music, while critiques mention dated, worn areas, inconsistent cleanliness, and maintenance issues like noisy HVAC and broken fixtures.

Beds are often comfortable and some rooms are quiet, but several guests found rooms small or dark and noted noise from AC or the street. The social lobby with a bar, pool table and events is a plus, though the gym and elevators need attention and parking in the area can be difficult. On-site food is limited to a bar and grab-and-go, with no room service and occasional breakfast credits; drink prices can be high. Overall, expect a convenient Harlem base with lively common spaces but variable room condition and cleanliness.

The staff was very friendly and the vibe of the lobby was wonderful with the bar, pool table and live jazz music. The quality of the room was disappointing. It was very dusty on the wall, AC unit and on little things like the alarm clock next to the bed, the sink had a sewage smell coming out of it and we noticed a weird ring around the top of it, the shower wouldn’t drain properly and our first night there we noticed the carpet in the room was soaking wet on the opposite side of the shower wall by the bed my guess is due to a leak. We had to place a towel over it. Close to subway lines and plenty of places to eat. Overall, wouldn’t stay here again due to the quality of the room.

I would have given ALOFT 5stars across the board, except upon arrival your outdoor elevator to the hotel that’s downstairs was out of service I had to navigate downstairs in the sleeting rain and snow with my luggage nearly falling. I know the staff had to see me your cameras are everywhere, I could have fallen and hurt myself, that is my only complaint I have stayed at your other properties with no problems or complaint once in the building everyone and accommodations were great.

The hotel was dirty with dust and dirt in the crevices of the bathroom floor and shower. The coffee maker had grime all in the water reservoir. I had a few zoom meetings I had to take in the room and there was a dog that barked all day long and someone screaming on their phone. Overall, the pictures on the website make it appear nice and I generally have good experiences with Aloft but stay away from this hotel. It’s dirty, old, and not ideal for people who need peace and quiet.

Not a good stay. Staff was great though. Cleanliness of hotel was horrible. Rugs were coming up. Walls had stains on them. Random hand prints on walls. Mold and caked up mildew in and around bathroom and showers. I cut my leg shaving and sat on bed and did not realize blood got on sheet. They cleaned room while we were gone, made the bed and left the sheet with blood on it on the bed!!! Did not even replace the sheet. I have pics of everything, but Expedia did not give an option to attach them. This hotel needs some major renovations and the cleaning staff needs a talking to about how they are cleaning the rooms. The highlight was the kind and personable staff and the location to food etc. in the area.

I stay at aloft hotels in every city I go too. The room was small and worn down. You can notice mold in the corners of the shower and on the ceiling. Dusty on the side of the bed. The TV didn’t work, it either froze and lagged when you pressed the buttons. It would not connect to Amazon prime or Netflix so I basically had to use my phone to watch movies. The repair guy came the first time when I couldn’t simply turn the TV on using the remote but when I reported the tv freezing and being slow to respond to changing the channels and no connect to Netflix or Amazon nobody came. Even though I called 3 times. I will never stay at aloft in Harlem. Horrible experience.

The heater in the room was very noisy. The engineer checked it twice but there was no improvement. In the middle of the night it sounded like a steam kettle was ready to blow. The hotel was very full and they didn't think they could find another room so I had to use earplugs to sleep.

While the room was on the smaller side, it was laid out very well to make the best use of the space. Having the room split so that the “living” quarters were facing the windows was great, it really lit up the room during the day. That being said the lights in the shower area were not very bright in comparrison. The ac worked very well, the bed was very comfortable and the hotel staff were very friendly and made great recommendations for dining.

The hotel is in dire need of an update and improvements. In addition, the front desk staff makes an effort at trying to be welcoming by always smiling, however, they are severely lacking in their ability to resolve matters appropriately and responding to guests in a professional manner. Some additional training in hospitality and maintaining appositive image of the company they represent appears to be sorely needed at this Aloft. I had to be moved three times from October 18-19 due to a non-working television in one room and the poor conditions (gaps/holes in the walls, rusted furniture fixtures, odor, dirty rug, and totally deplorable appearance of a room that is supposed to be representative of the Marriott brand.

They said they didn’t have room for us while I was checking in at 11pm. We were very tired and they had to sent us to a hotel for the first night and come back for the rest of two night. They said it was because I booked the hotel through the” third party”. Was it my fault it book the third party? They didn’t seem to be sorry. They made me feel like I should not have booked the hotel thought the third party. It was an awful night. I ended up finally checked in another hotel at 12am and came back to stay in their hotel. We had to because if I cancelled I have to do it through the third party not them.
