Aloft in Raleigh, across from NCSU's Bell-tower was a wonderful stay. If only for one night. Plenty of room, & a clean room at that...Very comfortable bed. It was quiet. Scenic. The staff were friendly. The onsite parking option was convenient & safe. Enjoyed that a lot of the areas I was in the area to research & soak up were within walking distance. Glad that I got what I paid for...Will stay here again in the future. All the best!

This is our go-to hotel when we drop off or visit our son at NCSU. Location can't be beat, clean, modern, super friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are clean and quiet. We absolutely love the lobby which has huge sliding doors that open in good weather to balcony overlooking the NCSU Bell Tower. Pool table, board games and a really cool bar. Check it out.

Staff seem underpaid and too small in number for the tasks they have. I would blame that on management. The air conditioner in the room is an old fashioned amana-style box from the 1990s - the size of a low bookcase. It was extremely loud- unusable at night when trying to sleep. I’d stay somewhere else next time.

This is the second time I have stayed here. I love how close it is to NC State and my student’s apartment. Its location allowed our family to enjoy so many of the restaurants on Hillsborough. The parking garage is very convenient. Honestly, my only complaint is that the air conditioning is extremely loud and wakes you up every time it turns on and off.

After coming here routinely for downtown events for around 10 years since you’ve been open, will not be returning. This hotel was too overpriced at $600 a night. That’s how much I paid for a cliff-side, island, 5 star hotel on our honeymoon. This is Raleigh. No parking (when paying extra $44), it was noisy until 2am due to location, some of the shampoo dispensers were completely empty, poor bar selection, front desk staff were always distracted and required help.

We bring our dog absolutely no problem whatsoever. Plenty of places to walk. I'm not complaining but I must say the TV remote had to be the hardest I've ever used. Me or my wife could figure it out. Other than that, loved it

Lack of food options to be ordered at the bar. It was very warm in the room when we turned the A/C on it rattled extremely loud and disturbed our sleep a bit. Nothing too terrible but was noticeable. Overall 8/10

Property is very well located, particularly if you are planning to visit NCSU. On main transportation line. Staff were very fiendly and helpful, including in addressing a couple of special requests. The property does need some updating in decor and things like carpet. There was a very loud fan/vent in the 6th floor hallway. The lobby bar is excellent, if a bit pricey (which is probably typical of a hotel bar). Overall a very good experience.

Aloft is fine. Bed was comfy. The breakfast situation is not ideal. Everything is at a cost and it was a pain to get basic items like water and milk for cereal. Each time I had to ask someone for something as simple as water. There's no regard for Celiac/GF people as far as options. I ended up ordering very bland scrambled eggsa nd brought my own GF bread. The food ideology is extremely outdated. Oh- and there's no indication how much any of the food items cost.
