Checked in oct 1, Room was clean for the “most part”, “modern” sort of, looks like Aloft I stayed in the past just not as clean as it should be. Few stains on the carpet. Room also smelled a bit rancid. Bed is nice and comfy, bathroom clean. No additional toilet paper but the one that was on the roll, which was 90% finished. Guy at the front desk wasn’t helpful, don’t know his name, but took a while to acknowledge us, as he answered several phone calls, what kind of customer service is that??room booked for 25 nights and was told I had to pay $25/ night, told them I was Marriott Gold Elite member and was told the best he can give is $15/ night, which isn’t bad, but still pricey and to top it off, parking lot is SMALL and parking doesn’t seem guaranteed so why am i paying?? I get that it’s NY and you always pay for parking but if it’s not guaranteed then what’s the point. Hotel parking lot also seems to be shared with another parking agency next door, also smells like weed throughout the entire area/front desk.

Ended up parking across the street in the neighborhood.

As another person mentioned, walls are thin and you can hear other people alarms in the morning, as the days go on I’ll see how this affects my sleep.

Close proximity to LGA which is a plus. Located right off the highway (van wick expressway) . Hotel next door is ghetto and has metal detectors..

Will give an overall update at the end of my stay.

So far I recommend only if your doing a quick weekends, not longer stays.

Edit: Went from 3 to 2 stars..worst Aloft I’ve been to. So far it’s been 1.5 weeks, and I will say AVOID this hotel. I Stan by everything I’ve said so far, in addition, I have to constantly call the front desk to have my room cleaned. No matter the time I leave my room, the house keepers never come in and I never have the “do not disturb” sign on, so I’m not sure what’s that all about. Seems as if, once they pass your room , they don’t come around to check on the rooms they’ve missed. On top of that, they never replace the toiletries. For example, they’ll take out the old hand soap and never replace it with a new one, or they’ll never replace the wash cloths or face towels. And they only give 2 towels at a time. One thing that annoys me is that they never give additional toilet paper, some will be left on the roll and instead of leaving an additional roll, ( since that’s what every other hotel I’ve been to have done) I ALWAYS have to call the front desk for one, and depending on who’s working that could take a few mins and multiple calls before they actually send someone to bring it. It’s just annoying. It’s like their cheap with replacing the toiletries. Room doesn’t have any good lighting, there are no additional lamps, no note pad or pen or any amenities that would make your stay comfortable. Hotel needs a serious update and better staff!
