I enjoyed the property, my issue is with valet. I waited over 35 minutes after my retrieval request and gave up after 40 minutes, which is when I received the new notification that my vehicle had been brought to me. I came down in person and waited and by 12:46am, I’d already been waiting 35:01 minutes (which I have screenshots for). I was given a number to the manager George and when I called, he laughed in my face and hung up and then didn’t return my call. Unfortunately, I have no other way of contacting or getting the attention of the hotel or valet unless there’s a negative review, since my attempts in person and on the phone have been unsuccessful.

Aloft Houston disappoints
Room not ready at check in. Waited 30 minutes. Bathroom sink clogged. No shampoo but 2 conditioners. Only one cup and one bag of coffee. Old coffee filter still in machine from previous guest. In room phone disconnected. Toilet seat ajar and about to fall off. When requesting to have things fixed, the sink was addressed, but nothing else. Not staying here again, and cannot recommend this hotel to others.

Ummm the toilet was IN the shower. And there was no drainage. And it’s not like there was a plumbing issue. It was clearly designed that way, where the water that inevitably would be all over the toilet itself and the floor surrounding it would not be able to drain - it was going to have to air dry. And speaking of toilets, the water and contents splashed out when you flushed. There was only one elevator working the whole time. The floors of the hallways were filthy. They were “out of room keys” so we couldn’t get more than one. Which is a pain if ever you are going in different directions or at different times (which with 4 people, we were). The valet attendants were very friendly, which unfortunately is about the only thing positive I can say about our stay. I guess while we’re at it I will say that there were no smoking signs EVERYWHERE but it smelled like no one could read those. It was overpowering and off-putting. But I think without the horrible toilet situation I probably would not have been motivated to write such a negative review.
