Not really, Aloft was taking part in the upgrades program at least until December 2018, even if there were only 2 room types in the property
Recently they changed it in T&C:
"The Complimentary Enhanced Room Upgrade for Platinum Elite Members and above is available at all Participating Brands except at Marriott Vacation Club, Marriott Grand Residence Club,
Aloft, Element and participating Vistana properties."
