If you are solo then I would go with the Aloft in a heartbeat. The AC looks decent and has many good reviews - I don't think you get breakfast though?
I have a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth because I had a horrible bed at the JW - not sure if it was just a "one off room with a crappy bed" but I had the worst sleeps and sweated like crazy in their bed (unusual for myself)?? All three of these being the Aloft, Fairfield and Courtyard have great reviews and look very clean.. We walked by all of them and they all look like they are kept up very well. I would probably gear towards the Aloft or Courtyard as the Fairfield rooms are really "plain Jane"? I found the Aloft in a great location, comfortable bed, decent breakfast and clean as a whistle!...and of course the price point helps too when paying with your own dime.
Thank you for the detailed response. Usually, I love spending time at lounges, but I feel that whenever you go abroad, you'd want to try local restaurants for a more "genuine" experience. Unless a lounge offers a similar experience and is substantially cost-effective.
Did you have a chance to stay at Sheraton Lima?
