Aloft Hotels

I am in mid travel on my way to Costa Rica. I had a forced layover in Denver, Colorado last night. So, I stayed at an "airport hotel" and I use that term loosely as the nearest hotel is 8 miles away. I jumped on the shuttle headed for the new brand - Aloft. I had heard the buzzy about this sleek modern hotel chain, but hadn't had the chance to see one yet. The shuttle approached the hotel circle filled with 5-6 standard looking hotels and then there was the Aloft. The hotel was rimmed with neon ligjts and a soft neon glow radiated from the lobby. I was now very curious about the inside. I walked into a sexy disco club style lobby. It was buzzing with chatter over drinks and games. The front desk was a small circular island called the Aloha desk. I was pleasantly surprises at the casual but friendly check-in service, which took all of 2 minutes. The lobby bar was inviting and the "food counter" is easy self serve but offers fresh hot choices.

Then, up the elevator to the 3rd floor where I entered my room. The rooms are very simple but very clearly stated in design. Alarge flat screen TV, an illuminated wall that allows light to penetrate the shower and bedroom, modren bath fixtures and trendy curtains instead of closet doors.

I liked this hotel for a short stay. Quick in and out and unexpected decor makes it a top choice for airport or short stay city hotels.
