Aloft by Marriott Lexington

Love the vibe of this place. Friendly, laid back, and approachable staff. The lobby has a pool table (billiards), bar, and nice seating areas. There is also a swimming pool. Breakfast is not complimentary, but the options available for order are not expensive at all. Bed was comfortable and the shower/bathroom was an elevated experience compared to mainline hotels. First time staying at an Aloft and this left a great impression. Would certainly return and absolutely recommend.

It really is a great location because you can get to the North Shore or to Boston Hospital’s very quickly. The service however, is not particularly great. Here’s an example. They have beautiful kitchenettes in which you can cook a meal, full-size refrigerator and dishwasher. The light above the cooktop was not working in flickering. I asked in the morning if they could just replace the bulb and I said I would be gone for about 7 to 8 hours. Upon my return, the lightbulb was still flickering. The television in the living room area is on the fritz, meaning that the sound is garbled. I asked for that to be fixed but once again nothing. Oh well, it’s not much you can do about poor Service and I really think no one really cares anymore. The one bedroom suites are nicely designed in that one has a separate sleeping quarters from the work area. The walking showers are great, and the bathrooms are spacious and have a ledge in which you can store your potions, lotions, erasers, and all the beauty product you’ve ever need.

I will say that I really like this place and that the vibe kind of reminded me a little of the old dorm room days in college. The facility has great energy and the amenities were great in my honest opinion. I would be a super fan, however, I didn't like that there were no blinds that gave privacy while still letting light in. I felt like I had to sacrifice natural light to not feel like I was in a fishbowl in my room. I also found it very strange that I had no microwave in the room. I was also not a big fan of walking to the lobby to line up to heat up any food I wanted at that time. The indoor pool is amazing though and the gym is solid. I also really enjoyed the lobby space during the snowstorm. Last thing I have to say is that the staff was very friendly, polrofession and accommodating too!

Dev and Ashley were incredibly helpful while a third party booking had system failures. They were kind, helpful, and accommodating. Aloft is lucky to have such an incredible team representing them! Thank you Dev and Ashley!!

The lobby of this hotel's been completely redone and it is literally five star. There's a pool table, fireplace, saltwater pool and fitness center. Highly recommended if you like staying in the aloft style hotels. Nihil was great at the front desk and helped me with all my questions. Staff overall is very nice!
