Aloft Shenandoah Woodlands Area

Location: Conveniently situated near highways, shopping, dining, and entertainment areas. Proximity to concert venues and easy access to parking.

My first time staying at this particular Marriott-owned hotel. It was a bit easy to get to, although I almost missed their entrance to the hotel’s driveway. Why I was thinking that the marquee would be actually on the building; I don’t know. Anyway, check-in, and check-out was quick and easy with no problems. Staff was courteous and friendly. The room itself seemed like it was a bit small. It was also a bit warm, but that was fixed by turning down the a/c to a comfortable temperature of 71 degrees Fahrenheit. The bed was comfortable. And, I had no problem sleeping. The shower was decent. Amenities were supplied by Dry Bar, which I didn’t know that they provided hair and body products. I might buy some of their products. Speaking about drying my hair, the provided hair dryer was awesome even at low setting. Why only four stars? First thing was the unusual dark hallway. I understand the notion of “being green,” but the hallway felt unsafe to me especially arriving back late at night. (I attended a concert at the Pavilion.) Second thing was the little nuances concerning the room. There was a little dent in one part of the floor near the entrance. And, the toilet paper holder was very loose from its place in the wall. All-inall it’s just basically wear and tear. By the walls in the bedroom area are meant to be; it’s art. Would I stay at this brand again? Maybe, maybe not.

Beautiful, modern and convenient to the Pavillion! The beautiful, modern interior decor and attention to detail made this seem like a much more expensive hotel! Easy, fast check in, great location close to the pavillion. Def will stay again!
