Beautiful location, so much potential

Decor was amazing and well done, loved the candy bar and water, pool table and patio. Room was really pretty, and loved the upgrade we got. The lounge in the front room was amazing.

It didn't feel safe, doors didn't all lock from the outside at night. We had a homeless person following us at night, but there wasn't like a locked gate to the patio. We also had a drunk person in the hallways at night yelling and hitting the walls, not sure if they were even staying there as literally anyone can come up the elevators. It's not the safest location at night due to the amount of foot traffic there, I would have expected a higher amount of security. The place is lit up with pride colors, and in downtown Orlando with no security at all, meanwhile all the clubs down the road are using metal detectors to let people in. The hotels I have stayed at for Marriott usually lock all but the front door at night so there is only one entry point. Let's just say I didn't sleep too well. Lastly I would have liked the option to stream my shows with either a smart tv or the option to add a streaming device. Kinda sucked that only cable was available and there were no on demand options at all.

Great spot for an event at Amway

Walking distance to a lot of great places in downtown Orlando, especially the Amway Center. Saved us a lot of headache with transportation

It would not have been affordable for us without the discount.

Employees were friendly and helpful for the most part.

Nice atmosphere and convenient location

The bed was very uncomfortable and the security in front of the property could be a little better.

Staff speaking Spanish too!

I wanted to take the bed to my house! So comfortable and warm... Location was great for me, cause I had to work to Citrus Center, and I went by a simple walk. I just loved the room, very quiet.

Very nice with good food and drinks at the WXYZ. TV remote was covered which is one of the dirtiest items in a hotel.

Difficult to find the entrance with GPS. I got to know Camping World very well. I never saw the ground level Aloft sign for both visits. Not even when I was smoking outside. This may influence whether I stay again. Rating the room size. On Thursday I arranged for a large room and it was! Monday night I arranged for one less. The size of a normal room but still nice. Joy
