Reviews
Guests generally appreciate the friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, and modern design of the hotel. However, some have experienced issues with hot water availability and construction noise. The lack of complimentary breakfast and EV chargers, as well as overpriced food and parking, are also mentioned as downsides.

The whole place was amazing! The location was beautiful. The hotel itself and our room was so well thought out and the design was fantastic! Even though we had to pay for breakfast it was totally affordable and cheaper than eating out at a restaurant.

What really made our stay stand out was the staff. Unfortunately, I can't remember the manager's name, but he was absolutely amazing. In the middle of the night, the fire alarm went off and everyone had to evacuate. As someone who struggles with anxiety, I had a hard time settling down afterward and didn't get much sleep. The manager on duty was calm, professional, understanding, and incredibly accommodating during a stressful situation. His demeanor helped make an unsettling experience much easier to handle. Things don't always go according to plan when traveling, but great customer service makes all the difference. The staff at Aloft proved that. Thank you for your kindness and professionalism!

Nothing The staff couldn't locate our reservation (my name was reversed which was my error). Then the toilet broke in the middle of the night and staff didn't understand why I waited until checkout to advise. I wanted sleep and checkout was the next morning! The room (219) was beside the elevator which was extremely LOUD all night long. Would NEVER recommend. The hotels solution was to offer me points. No thank you! Don't waste your time staying here!

Friendly staff, cute bar + entry area, comfortable bed. I do not think they vacuumed; there was a bit of dried noodles on the carpet. You basically open the door of your hotel room into the bathroom. Also, the pool was a bit too cold.

Charming stay at Aloft in Franklin, TN. The hotel itself provided a welcoming, fun atmosphere with rooms that were inviting and complete with amenities. Staff members were extremely helpful. During the days a pool, weight room and outdoor patio. Evenings offered entertainment at the modern cozy lobby bar with ambient lighting, varied seating, and games. I recommend it highly!

I know this was out of the control of the hotel, but the fire dept scheduled a test alarm at 8 in the morning while we were still sleeping. Didn’t like being placed right next to the stairs - two females.

The bar seemed well stocked. The lobby was very clean and the staff were SUPER nice. The room was clean but our shampoo and conditioner dispenser was completely empty. I feel like for the price you pay to stay here, they could at least include a free grab and go breakfast at the very least. I am not paying $10+ extra for a grab and go.

Spuder issues in the night- saw running across bed upon arrival- clear spider fast running- I showed front desk the videos, the AC not working properly in the room, the electricity was not working in half of the room, the shower pressure was extremely low, the shower leaked outside of the stall, no place to set shampoo in shower, and the elevators were broken so we had to haul all of our luggage down 6 flights of stairs and through parking lot on opposite side of building. The common areas were not clean. The beds were hard as a rock and not enough towels or pillows in room. Extremely disappointed in our stay- this property does not meet Aloft standards. Was not a relaxing or restful stay after 10+ hours on the road and 10+ more to go to get home. Expedia was great with customer service with this stay and communication.
- 5/5
Great hotel! Clean rooms and a great lobby with a pool table and bar. One of the more fun hotels in the area. Parking was a problem though. The lot fills up quickly and the D1 sports center parking lot next door is mostly reserved parking. Overall still a great stay and location at a solid price.

The pool was so cloudy you could barely see your own arms. Multiple things broke in my room, the blinds, the bed, the door didn’t lock. The staff at check in & check out were so rude. I stood & waited for the girl at the front desk to finish texting to be helped. The hotel was cute but the experience wasn’t good, I wouldn’t stay here again.

Overall decent stay, they had a live band with full bar and a pool table which was unique compared to other places I’ve stayed. Nice contemporary styling and my room was comfy and clean. A few disappointments/gripes if I had to make any would be the fridge in the room was super tiny and did not include a freezer portion. The rooms have no microwave but the lobby does I found that a little inconvenient considering I bought a few frozen dinners for my stay. In the shower, there was no shelf/place to lay your soap or shampoos you just have to use the tiled floor. There was no ice machine access but you can ask the front desk in lobby for a tiny 20oz bag. I would stay here again if I wasn't planning on needing a freezer or microwave ie food prep/drinking in the room.

Initially upon arrival there was an issue with my reservation, which was not in their computer. I showed them my confirmation email, and they promptly arranged another room. The room was clean and comfortable. But then, they took down the details of my stay incorrectly and checked me out a day early. As a result, the room was not serviced by housekeeping. They promptly extended my stay and gave me extra towels. On checkout, somehow both the original reservation and the replacement nights were billed. It took me a couple of hours of telephone follow ups to straighten out the credit card charges.

This property was conveniently located right off the highway while traveling through Nashville and was dog friendly, however, was completely bare bones. Barely enough towels, no bar or any soap by the sink. Needed a few extra electrical outlets and a mirror in the main sleeping area as well. Lobby was up for grabs when we got there because of a convention, which was a little overwhelming probably wouldn’t choose this hotel again.

Floor in room needs cleaning, bathroom sink was clogged and no maintenance onsite or on call to repair, toilet not flushing properly, there was no one at guest services desk for extended periods of time, Terrible stay, will not return. I requested a call from management but they ignored my request I do not recommend this hotel. I think the good reviews are false.

First room was not even clean, they had to give me a different room after walking into a gross smelly room. The next room was the same price but way more worn than the one i stayed in upstairs the week before. I slipped in the shower because the tile is very very slick! A lawsuit waiting to happen. And i was next to the side door where everyone kept slamming the door to go outside to smoke. The bartender was nice, but not ambitious. The bar stools are also a lawsuit waiting to happen, extremely flimsy and i almost fell ot of my seat because of it.

The hotel has a modern feel. The live music and bar in the lobby made it feel like a night out in the town. This is a great place for groups to socialize and relax. The layout and comfort of the room gets 5 stars.

The lobby area was enjoyable, with the pool table and board games. However, we were woken before 7am by an malfunctioning fire alarm, only in our room. Also, the shower did not drain properly and caused standing water issues. Finally, it was not realized until after check out that I was charged $19 for ONE glass of wine from the bar. Since the receipt was not itemized, I am unsure whether the excessive charge was for taxes or unauthorized tip but it is unacceptable and I should be reimbursed, as well as compensated in some way for the troubles we endured.

This hotel has their own parking lot. It's not a shared space. And they still charge you for parking in it when staying at their hotel!!! It's a $$$ grab. Hotel is loud and noisy. Housekeeping staff yelling in the hallway early in the morning - no doubt to get everyone up and out.
