Just a few comments / thoughts...

- No room service anymore, which I used to use, but there are still plenty of places nearby

- No real update to the gym, which is what I was really hoping for

- I hope they participate in the Smart Check In program at some point

- Rooms are pretty much the same with a refresh, so the rooms are quite nice / large for Aloft
Room service is available. I used it a couple times on my last stay. Maybe they didn't have it initially available?

The gym will apparently be getting some new equipment.

Smart Check-in will eventually be coming as well (many of their doors have mag-stripe card reader issues and I was told by the front desk they don't want to bother replacing them until they move to smart check-in).
