Aloft Henderson

“Even with the faux pas, I gave it a 5 out of 5”

Let me set the stage. I used to live in the Vegas Valley, Henderson, Spring Valley, etc., for about 10 years. I moved out of the Valley in July 2023. I'm a right above-the-knee amputee. The purpose of the trip was to see my kids and friends. The stay was 1/1/26 through 1/4/26. I was to arriv… Más

Let me set the stage. I used to live in the Vegas Valley, Henderson, Spring Valley, etc., for about 10 years. I moved out of the Valley in July 2023. I'm a right above-the-knee amputee. The purpose of the trip was to see my kids and friends. The stay was 1/1/26 through 1/4/26. I was to arrive on 12/31/25, American Airlines at DFW (leaving from CHS) had other plans. I pick up a rental car and am familiar with the area. The hotel had to be built after I left in July 2023. There was hardly anything there, the office park, the restaurants, and the gaming spot (Timbers). I remember the gas station going up. The hotel leans more toward the Coronado Centre than St. Rose. It sits back from St. Rose. I arrive around 2 pm. Taking a step back, I let the hotel know I was stuck at DFW due to a missed connection (there wasn't a weather or ATC delay; it was all on American). I spoke with a lady, let her know the deal, and I have every intention of making it there on 1/1/26. She said my room would be held. I was wondering if I would be charged the night of 12/31/25. I was billed, which is a bit ratty. I get it, the franchise owner makes those decisions. Most Marriott properties aren't corporate-owned. I pull up to the hotel, again on Coronado Centre, and it sits on a hill (this is important). There isn't much parking in front of the property. I know the deal about office park covered parking (it is highly coveted, especially in the summer), so I wasn't about to park there. When I started the check-in process at the desk, I was told that I didn't give the "I used to be a resident speech." The woman who helped me was super friendly and informative. I had requested a roll-in shower room on a high floor. The roll-in shower was accommodated, not the high floor. I could have taken the room on the first floor and moved the next day to the second floor. I declined the offer, too much work. I should have in hindsight. I get to the room and have stayed at another Aloft property. The room is a funky, compact design, except for the bathroom. There is modern furniture, power-operated blinds (instructions on how to use them would be helpful), plenty of light, and the usual amenities such as a big TV, a Keurig-type coffee maker (single-use, no K-Cups), and a glass-door mini-fridge. There is a funky table-and-sofa combo that is comfortable. Oh, I'm in room 125. Before reaching the room, I asked where the best place to park would be. For the room I was assigned, I was told to park on the side. The room was almost equally distant from the lab to the side entrance. This is a big deal for me as it takes more work to walk as an amputee versus someone with both legs intact. I was told that if I had a room on the second floor, I should park in the back; there is an entrance, and the elevator is closer to it. I have no idea which room I'd be assigned if I decided to move, or how far it would be from the elevator. I've noticed recently that while hotels are ADA-compliant, they aren't ADA-sensitive, such as placing an ADA room as far from the elevator/entrance as possible. This wasn't the case. Speaking of ADA, the toilet and roll-in shower are in this massive room. The stool was deep enough, and water didn't spill onto the shower floor (I mentioned it did at a different Marriott-branded property). There are SO MANY grab bars near the toilet and the shower. The removable showerhead and toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion) were within easy reach. The sink has plenty of light and a nice height to allow someone to roll in (I don't use a wheelchair currently). I didn't spend time at the pool (Vegas in January is cold) or in the rear courtyard. I had a bite to eat (French Onion Soup & Chicken Caesar Salad) at the bar while I messed around on the laptop for several hours. The woman there (not Randy, I didn't catch her name) was pleasant, knowledgeable, and checked in appropriately. The food was excellent. The bar had convenient power. I liked the chairs and the height of the bar, so I chose to hang out for a bit instead of a sofa or one of their cubby-type things. There were A LOT, I mean A LOT, of dogs! Did I mention there were a lot?!?! They weren't small pocket-sized dogs; there were dogs of all breeds and mixes. I saw a few American Staffordshire terriers. The dogs were relatively behaved, I mean, they are dogs and get excited occasionally. The dog owners did as they should: controlled the family member, some parents did not prevent their kids from picking up after the pup, and were polite. Is this too good to be true? I do have a negative. The morning of January 2, 2026, I packed up my laptop to take to Starbucks after meeting my kids at Scrambled (good Oreo pancakes). I picked up the bag, and it was soaking wet. While the bag is water-resistant, it is not waterproof. Some water got into the bag, ruined the four Event Horizon Descent comic books I had in protective covers, a $20 Starbucks card (I now know the cards are made of corrugated paper rather than plastic), and made the inside of the bag stink. I let the front desk know via chat (the staff responded promptly) about the water. I wasn't sure where it was coming from. I looked at the walls, the ceiling, and around the room, thinking I'd done something. I received a reply saying the water had cleared and was due to rain. The Valley has no permeable ground, yet the hotel sits on a hill. I don't get it. I let the staff know it ruined some things (I didn't specify which items) and wasn't offered any compensation. Had I known the hotel gets a bit leaky on the first floor, I would have placed my laptop bag on the velvet sofa. I rated it a 5 out of 5. The staff, the room, the accessibility (on the first floor), the proximity to the 215, and the food choices make this a great stay. I've done the strip as a tourist. This is an excellent value.

“Buena opción para visitar Las Vegas”

Estuvimos alojados aquí en agosto de 2024. Se trata de un buen Aloft con todas las comodidades esperadas para un hotel de esta categoría. Dispone de parking gratuito y se encuentra a unos 15-20 minutos del Strip. En cuanto al precio, nada que ver con los precios de Las Vegas, bastante más barato.
