Very convenient hotel
I enjoyed my stay here at the Aloft. This hotel is right in the middle of where everything is, plenty of food places, bars, activities, stores. It was so convenient. Will definitely stay here again. My only downfall was, there is no Swimming pool.

Great place to stay - will be back
All the staff were super nice, courteous and helpful. Check in was quick and easy as was check out. room was super nice and bed was comfy. It was a little loud but that's to be expected on a weekend in river north in the summer as all the noise came from the street
