Had a great stay at Aloft! Stayed in quite a few Alofts so I knew it was going to be good as they usually are. Modern, clean, friendly staff, cute bar attached, super close to the subway which could get you to midtown in just a couple stops. The only thing that we had an issue with was we stayed in one of the balcony rooms (which was great), but we could hear quite a bit of the outside noise with the openable door. I'm not sure if our door was defective as when I pushed on it harder shut, it quieted down (unfortunately it didn't stay like that though), or if the doors were just like that. It was manageable but definitely not as quiet as we would've liked. We were woken up a bit some nights. New York is generally a loud city though, so you have to allow for that. Overall, we really liked it and would definitely stay there again!
