I've stayed here last week, and as a previous poster mentioned no upgrade as a SPG Plat because there is nothing to upgrade you to.
The hotel as such as fine, and exactly like the other 2 alofts I have already stayed at. This seems to be the most standardized brand in the Starwood portfolio. WiFi throughout the hotel is free, but was very slow and unreliable in my case.
The heating / AC unit was less annoying than at the aloft O'Hare, but still very loud and "cheap" - nothing integrated into the room, it's just one unit by the window.
My rate included $10 of breakfast credit per night, for which I got a pink plastic token. There was a small selection of muffins, rolls, bagels and fruit available in the mornings and I had some of these along with decent complimentary coffee.
All in, solid but not exciting.

Recent Stay
Stayed here last week. Had a broadly similar experience to ones described by the posters above.
Similar design, vibe to other Alofts. Employees were friendly at check-in, departure. Rooms continued to have fairly noisy in-unit ACs (which didn't bother me, but could definitely bother light sleepers or others who don't like the noise). I liked the modern aesthetic of the room and bathroom, but its definitely not traditional.
Received a $10 pink token for breakfast each morning, but the breakfast was not impressive and suprisingly featured almost all unhealthy options. Ended up skipping it for the last two days. Beds were not impressive. Good rate around $110. There are two free bottles of water included a day, which was a nice touch.
The lobby scene is one that will appeal in the evenings to some and not others. When I was there, it was filled with an almost exclusively 20/30ish male crowd. Looked almost like an older frat party. Saw very few women, although this could be attributed to many other things too, I suppose.
This is the only SPG option in this area of Nashville and its very close to many different dining and shopping options. Seems to be a fairly upscale community surrounding it and right off a major highway (which is escaping me at this time).
