The Hotel was nice. Clean and well maintained. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. It was terrifically conveniently located next to the Durham Bulls Ballpark with plenty of restaurants nearby. My only complaint was the pay for breakfast in the lobby. It was Continental Style…but only the coffee was free.

Not worth the $

It is way to expensive! It was a great location but i will walk next time. They also asked for my credit card, i asked why for it is already paid for. The female said "just in case we need it", but she did not say we anything about a charge for parking, WHICH SHOULD BE FREE!!!! I filled out a survey and they replied, then telling me what the $15 charge was.

Receptionist Benjamin Granby needs to be removed

The reservation was made under my e-mail for my partner Rebecka who was staying at the hotel with her mother for a lecture. Shortly after her check-in, I received an e-mail of the receptionist asking my partner out on a date. The receptionist seemed to have no clue he was e-mailing me from what the e-mail suggests. He also went out of his way and provided free breakfast and parking as incentives to try and impress my woman. Using customer information such as email or phone numbers for personal matters is extremely unprofessional and should not be tolerated. I was going to leave this alone but I can’t help but to think of how many times this creep has done this to other clients. I request a full refund of my stay, since upon telling my partner what happened, neither her nor her mom were comfortable sleeping at the hotel after knowing this man used private information to reach out and try to get to her. I also request that the mentioned receptionist is removed from his position or at the least suspended. This unprofessional approach made my woman’s stay very uncomfortable for what was supposed to be a mom and daughter family matter stay at your facility. As an active duty service member currently deployed in the Middle East, incompetent people and unprofessional behavior I cannot keep up with. Attached is Benjamin’s email and my response to it.

Stayed at Aloft before but never had so much issue with noise. Theres noise (probably exhaust but sounds like vacuum cleaner) from the bathroom every 30 minutes or so and throughout the night which ruined my sleep. And then there's the train that blows it horns for a straight minute starting 5am which is unbearable.
