Aloft Lexington offers a fun and stylish atmosphere reminiscent of Boston or New York hotels, set in the Massachusetts suburbs. It is a good choice for visiting local colleges, thanks to its central location near Boston and the northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire region, where many colleges and universities are situated. Guests appreciate the unique rooms, which appeal to families and travelers looking for a different experience. The hotel features amenities like a pool, pool table, lounge, and indoor/outdoor spaces that are enjoyable for both kids and adults. The well-stocked bar adds a nice touch, especially after a day of college visits.
The hotel is generally clean and has a lovely appearance, but service can be inconsistent. Some staff members are friendly and accommodating, while others may seem stoic or unhelpful, especially at check-in. Room amenities are basic; some guests noted issues like stained floors, lack of towel hooks, and inconvenient electric outlets. The absence of an on-site restaurant was a disappointment, as advertised, and other amenities like ice machines and bottled water were sometimes unavailable. Some rooms and facilities could benefit from updates, such as bathroom fixtures and lighting.
Despite these issues, many guests find the beds comfortable and the rooms clean, making it a decent budget-friendly option in the area. The walkability to nearby restaurants varies, with some locations requiring a bit of walking. Overall, Aloft Lexington provides a fun, affordable stay with a few service and maintenance quirks, ideal for travelers interested in exploring the local colleges and enjoying a lively atmosphere.
Beds were comfortable. No complimentary breakfast, but there is a breakfast bar where they make sandwiches and you can purchase fruits and other standard items. the vibes were pretty different from other similar hotels. staff were kind.

Beautiful CAN'T MISS hotel that is worth twice the price or more. Only wish we could have stayed longer. The evening desk clerk (Christian) was one of the nicest young men I've ever met along with the maintaince man(Will). Of I could give 10 stars I would..
