How's your new kitchen?!:-:

monitor, I had a friend who stayed at the aloft here in Houston. Now, he isn't the world traveler, but... he experienced excellent service and a clean hotel. I wish I could give a first hand accounting, as I have driven by it, and seen the club hopping on a Friday night/evening. I would probably stay there, just by looking at the exterior.

You should have been here earlier when even the SPG fans were saying SPG missed the boat on some of the nice touches. I've rarely thought of the double-double approach because I'm both longer and have a greater wingspan than a double bed.

they all look almost the same..

aloft is a budget hotel...on the high end, not motel 6 ghetto slum.

I'm undertaking my first BD-enabled run as part of this activity. BNA-ORD-DFW-DEN-IAH. Taking four F seats from UA elites is perversely funny for me even before considering the DFW-DEN-IAH component.

I think you could push two doubles together to accomodate your 'greater wingspan'!;) I'm not a hotel 'expert/connoisseur' by any means -- & don't really travel around enough to make educated comparisons!:rolleyes: I'm just saying that my experience at aLofts have been pretty positive -- except for one stay at a new aLoft at Nat'l Harbor, DC where the A/C was installed incorrectly & was leaking water from the ceiling where it was installed -- I got 5K 'service' pts for that inconvenience!:D

Aside from the "just a little too hip elevator", I really did like the aLoft experience, down to the variety of reading material in the room itself. 4P PHL after Central NJ Mini Do was also a very comfortable hotel - clean, comfortable, and quiet go a very long way with me.

Greetings from the lovely HP Ontario Mills. Traffic was :rolleyes: getting out here.

I agree.

We liked our aloft experience. Teh room used space very efficiently, although the bed was pretty poor.

As long as the room didn't smell musty, I didn't hear the leaking water, and the water wasn't leaking on a bed or possession, I would be OK with the 5K SPG points ^

Is that your 2nd home away from home?!;):D

Still on hold. Working on paying off the new trans for my truck :rolleyes:. The granite is slightly more expensive than I thought :(. I should have it done in a by late Feb..

Welcome again from HP BNA. I finished the full bottle of wine, went to the car for Woodford, and continued to drink. As I live in TN now after about a decade of dealing with the DC Beltway with a branch office in LA on West Olympic, I ask "what's traffic?" ;)
