The Aloft is well located, easy walking distance from most things downtown, but about 20 minutes to any gay bars which are all out in the outskirts. The hotel is located in this historic building and you can see the beautiful lobby from the pictures. My room was off of the atrium and I loved walking around admiring the view. The rooms furnishings were comfortable and spacious albeit a little personality-less, which is a shame given the wonderful bones of this building. Good little convenience shop with breakfast options in the lobby. I'd stay again.
