This was my first ALoft experience and it will be my last. The room was just weird. It was a basic room with LVP flooring and every sound reverberated. The only door was to the room with the commode and it was a pocket door that still had a gap, so everything sound and other things from the bathroom permeated the entire room. The only privacy for the shower area was a little curtain that didn't didn't cover the gap on either side of where the shower was. The wall separating the shower/bathroom area didn't go all the way to the ceiling so the light and the noise came into the bedroom area. The room was very clean and well kept, but it was more like a fancy dorm or fraternity/sorority room than a hotel room. In my opinion, Marriott missed the mark with this concept, but I'm sure not everyone would agree. Needless to say, it wasn't what I look for in a hotel room. I have to say it was similar to Tru by Hilton in it's dorm roomesque concept, but Tru has a defined space for the bathroom and is much more traditional albeit still very different from a traditional hotel room. I can now say I've tried it, but I know now, not to go back.
