    Badly needs chemical treatment

    A deeply disappointing stay -- nothing like what you expect from a Marriott brand. Our experience has been frustrating from the moment we arrived 7/9/2025, and it unfortunately keeps getting worse. At check-in, we entered our room to find the bathroom light didn't work. My husband went back to the front desk to resolve the issue. The staff member stared at him blankly for some time and my husband finally said, "can we get it fixed?" She said "uhhh, probably not". To my husbands surprise at this answer he inquired about a different room to which she said "no we're booked" so he then asked again for repair as we had a 3 night stay and the room was very dark without lights and she finally said "I'll see if maintenance is still here." No one ever came. When we returned again, her attitude had completely changed and--magically--another room was suddenly available. That was our welcome. Here's an overview of the issues: * The pool, which we were most excited about, was murky and clearly in need of a chemical treatment. Unable to see the bottom it's so opaque. * One elevator was broken. * The entire building smells of old cigarette smoke. * The walls are extremely thin--we could hear every step from the room above us, and something metal in our room's ceiling would rattle every time they walked. We barely slept. * We assumed breakfast was included (again, a basic Marriott standard). Instead, not even a continental breakfast was available, but a pantry section of processed foods where a simple bag of chips was $4. * The room itself was run-down, in serious need of a deep clean, fresh paint, and odor removal. Paper cups for coffee in the room were already stained with coffee(?) inside. I'll be making sure friends, family, anyone searching online for a hotel here doesn't make the same mistake we did by staying here. It's simply not up to the standards of the Marriott name.

    Run down and dirty is the perfect way to describe this hotel! Only here for a soccer tournament and this was the hotel they picked - not that there are a lot of great choices in this town!! Let's being with NO working elevator when we arrived and when it did work - it sounded like it was about to break again. Room was dirty and beat up! Not sure why Alofts don't carry their standard paint color as everyone I stay in has weird touch up paint colors in a different hue that makes it look a mess! Furniture was damaged and broken, safe did not work and view was some sketchy pond like thing that looked like a swamp! But you do get a free light show from the parking lot lights that go on and off all night and a spectacular extra bonus view of a closed Red Lobster!! The gym had a leaking AC duct and their response was a bucket below to catch the drips! At the rate it was dripping, that bucket had not been emptied for days! Coffee machine was dirty and creamer was expired. Stuff of nightmares!

    Cramped, cheap room with smallish windows.

    I really like the Aloft brand of Marriott, but this one didn't work for me. The superficial parts worked, but not the parts that mattered. The outside and the lobby are just as stylish as any I've seen in this chain. A good mix of industrial chic for a modern, urban vibe. The outside had cool colored light elements, the pool looked wonderful with the blue lights. The lobby was just as funky as all of them are with a great receptionist. Didn't try the bar, but it looked good and lots of people hanging out enjoying the musician. Then we waited. For the only working elevator. The other wasn't marked as not working, but all weekend we would wait and it never opened. If you missed the elevator, you got to wait for it to come back down. The hallways were way too dark. In that creepy, "is it clean?" way. Not modern lighting, just dim. The room looked like it wanted to extend the lobby experience but it was WAY off. It was unlike any other I've been to. It just seemed cheap. Like a knock-off Ikea furniture on yard sale. The beds weren't as comfortable and the pillows were terrible. I think I have larger monitors at home than their TV. Which by the way wasn't showing local news on their satellite feed. The bathroom was roomy, but the door to the shower area was hard to close (it was a pocket door) and the recessed door handle was such cheap punched metal that I almost cut myself on the edges. Just what I wanted in a shower. For me, the room fell completely flat for the exterior and the start of the experience.

    It seemed as if they lacked sufficient parking and the parking lot is cut in half by this water retention basin. So parking close to the hotel is minimal. My first impression walking in was a very modern and clean hotel space. Yet, the design extends to being too modern. One colleague phrases it as staying in an IKEA. Checkin was ok, and I received a room I requested after twisting some arms. The front desk was friendly to me but gave my colleagues a hard time about their checkout. The elevator didn't have working floor indicator lights so you'd choose a floor but not know if it was selected. This was especially problematic on a football game night when nearly every floor was selected. My only experience with this brand was the ALoft LaGuardia, so I was surprised to see that this property has rooms in nearly identical layouts. So as a brand I'm not a fan of their room design. A lot of foolish use of space and a lot of room items placed in odd spaces. Like who would expect the ironing board to be in a cubby built into the bed frame? I don't like the mini fridge in the bathroom and I hate that they don't have see-through window shades. So when it comes to the window it's either open or closed. The shower water pressure was suboptimal. Their wall mounted dispensers hold the shampoo and body wash products and they cheap out on providing individual toiletries with these dispensers. One day the toilet paper ran out and housekeeping never replaced the roll. Their WiFi was sporadic. At times it would die completely, at times it would slow to a crawl, and at other times it was usable. In room the television had the wrong aspect ratio. At the very least sports channels were HD and the correct aspect. One really negative aspect of the stay was the need for toothpaste. They have a lobby display next to the elevators that makes it look as if they sell toothpaste. But the front desk staff insist that's not the case. Sorry, that was purely for show. I'm really surprised, especially given the price mark up that they don't (A) order replacements (B) send a staff member to a store to buy travel size toiletries for resale. Seems like such an easy thing to do to appeal to guests in a pinch, and not sending them to a pharmacy late at night. In general I was pleased with housekeeping service and seeing the housekeepers in the hallway they always said hello, and even left a kind note in the room! Only negative is the hotel only gives out like 2-towels for each king room. Weak. So weak and cheap. You look at the towel rack and it's bare. It looks empty. Overall, decent value, decent room, if you can look past the design that will be outdated and look corny.

    Nice trendy hotel owned by Marriott. Easy check in and very friendly staff. Has a nice pool and outdoor area to spend time out. Has a market place for food and drinks at reasonable prices. Definitely created for the younger crowd to stay and reside in. I enjoyed it as it was close to restaurants and stores. Great hotel for those visiting friends or children from Texas A&M. ENJOY!

    Do not stay here! They will take your money and turn you away. I booked a night at the Aloft in College Station, TX for this past Friday, April 9th, directly through the website. I called to confirm my reservation before making the drive upon which I had to give them my card info again, they ran my card to pay for my room and said I was all set. Upon arrival, we were told that they could not accommodate us. The said the best they could do was put us in a different hotel acrosss the street. This hotel was nowhere near the quality that we expected when we booked Aloft. The a/c did not work and we were not at all comfortable. We had stayed in an Aloft prior and booked this reservation based on the comfort and cleanliness. The lady at the front desk was extremely rude to my wife when she was asking why we weren't notified. We have reached out several times to the location and haven't been able to speak to a manager. We did not receive the quality hotel we paid for. The customer service has been horrible so far!

    This place is very gimmicky, so just know that. It is a reasonably priced chain, themed as a European hotel. It's pretty cool looking, but verging on cheesy in the lobby. The rooms look great though. I was very happy with the layout and the look when I walked in. The hotel is located in one of those typical, mainstream American areas with places surrounding it like Chili's, Abuelos, Blue Baker, etc... Nothing about the area makes me feel like I am in any particular place. Because of this I will probably pay the additional $30-$40 per night to stay at The La Salle moving forward. However, it's a good looking hotel, and I would definitely recommend it for the price. I don't care much about newer hotels or chain restaurants, but if I did I would probably be obsessed with Aloft. It gets four stars in my book. That seems realistic. My main issues with the hotel are not the fault of the hotel, but more so my personal preferences.

    Came to this hotel for a weekend getaway with Mr. The hotel is very trendy, with cool lighting and a heated pool. Even the ATM machine has fluorescent black lighting. There's a very nice bar and lounge area with a pool table and all. The decor kind of puts you in the mind of a futuristic hotel from The Jetsons. Lol The hotel is dog friendly and your pet family member is welcome to stay here for free as long as you sign a waiver. they even leave a bowl of doggie treats by the door (front and back) for Fido. The room is spacious and the bed is super comfortable. As a matter of fact I don't want to get out of it LOL. This hotel is VERY kid friendly, as evidenced by the hundreds of kids galloping about. :-) Only thing I didn't like...no microwave in the room. Gotta go downstairs and stand on line to use it.

But here's the thing--when something goes wrong at a hotel and they make you a promise to fix it, they should actually fix it. That hasn't been our experience here. In 2023 we had some legitimate issues, such as there was a minibar charge made on our account when we didn't use the minibar, restaurant service that was frustratingly slow, a broken light in our balcony. When I wrote about it, management responded by offering us a free night--in writing, no conditions mentioned. We said 'thanks, we'll take you up on it when we're back in town.' Fast forward to now. Every time we we've tried to use it, something new comes up. The examples below are ones I can document (there were other verbal conversations I can't full reconstruct): * First it was football weekends (which, fair enough--but that was never mentioned when they made the offer) * Then a separate "special event" exclusion got invented when a non-football event came to town for a date we were interested in * Then I picked a date off their own list of available dates offered by one of their managers, and I was told now all the sudden there's actually a two-night minimum--after the had urged me to pick something quickly and I responded the same evening (within 90 minutes) * Then a dinner gift card that was offered in writing got pulled back a week later * Then they asked for a certificate number--there was never any certificate issued; the original offer was just 'let me know and I'll book you in' One of their managers actually admitted in writing that the restrictions were never explained upfront. And still--no confirmed booking as of April 2026. I've got the whole email chain if anyone doubts any of this. I'll update the review if they actually come through. Haven't been able to hold my breath that long yet.

The exercise room is pretty big with complimentary towels and water bottles although the exercise machines are right in front of the windows so the sun may shine on you as you're trying to attack the treadmill. The pool area is spacious with plenty of lounge seats. There's also cornhole in the massive yard next to the lobby; a nice touch. Parking is complimentary with valet parking available. There's a few shops/restaurants nearby that you can dine at if you don't want to venture further out in the Bryan/College Station area.

I booked a 2 queen 2 room suite and I really enjoyed the layout. It didn't feel so congested and this can be a perfect room for a family of 3-4 to offer some privacy as the couch is also a pull out bed. The hotel wasn't as modern but it was still a nice hotel. Later in the evening I opened my bed stand drawer and noticed dirty napkins inside which made me think that housekeeping missed that which is pretty gross but I just left it alone as so understand mistakes do happen and thankfully I don't use the drawers in hotels anyway. What I was most excited about booking here was the complimentary breakfast!!! You cannot beat an omelet bar and it was tasty!! There's many options to choose from and I love that they let me get an extra omelet for my sister who was in the room sleeping and didn't even question it. There's options for everyone including cereal, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, muffins, bagels and more. I'd definitely return to embassy suites and hopefully I'll stay more than one night next time.
