Have stayed there a few times now - agreed it's one of the best US Alofts out there (location helps too, much more city center located than others)
- Beatrix is great as the "house" restaurant
- Location is unbeatable, surrounded by great dining / shopping and close to the Red line
- Gym is bigger / more differentiated than the more standard Aloft one...they have the standard one downstairs, then it's almost like they realized it was too limited and also built a bigger one right next to it
- Price usually a bit more competitive compared to the Ws/Westins if you're on a budget
