Aloft Dublin-Pleasanton

My GF and I really enjoyed this Hotel (again) after doing a quick little trip to Wente Vineyard and other wineries for some wine tasting. The rooms are laid out well and appointed with helpful modern accessories. The bathroom and shower are fantastic and well-equipped with some really nice proprietary shampoo and body soap. The bed comes with nice linen and comforter. The A/C system works extremely well and the refrigerator is fine for storing drinks. Parking is spacious and the staff at the desk in the lobby is always very helpful and efficient. Very convenient location and easy on/off access to 580.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Aloft Dublin-Pleasanton. Overall it was comfortable, spacious, and good value. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again in an instant if I needed a room in Dublin. Any 'negatives' are nit-picky and did not affect the quality of my overall stay, but are just things that I thought maybe someone looking to book might be interested to know. Full breakdown below:||Positives:|+ The configuration of the room made it feel very spacious. Even with two beds, a breakfast nook, and the TV, there was plenty of space to walk around. There was also plenty of counter/surface space to put things. |+ The sink/vanity was outside of the bathroom. This is a big one for me, especially when traveling with other people|+ The room had most of the usual amenities (mini fridge, hairdryer, safe). I could see the pool and gym from my window and they looked very nice, but I did not go down there.|+ The lobby was very nice and open, looked like a great hangout space. The bar was busy on a Monday night. I liked that there was a pool table and plenty of space to sit. |+ There is a comforter (+topsheet) on the bed, which adds a little extra niceness/warmth. The sheets were nice. Towels mid-range but did the job. |+ Plenty of parking, no extra charge to park your car. |+ The room design was very fresh and colorful in a way I haven't seen in a hotel before. It's not your average bland color scheme + landscape photograph. I like that it stands out. It feels young, in a way.|+ The soap smelled very nice||Things I didn't really like:|- There is no microwave in the room (I think I saw one in the lobby though?)|- No complimentary breakfast. There is some food available for purchase but I didn't look at the menu or anything like that. |- Very small dresser (2 drawers). I don't ever unpack at hotels so this wasn't an issue for me but I know that some people do like to do that.|- No clock in the room ??????????? This was an odd one for me|- The shower was like being in a hurricane. The head is mounted almost above where I could reach (and I'm 5'8") so it was difficult to change the setting. Heavy pressure. The door opens inward (???) so if you turn it on to warm up and then get in later, opening the door will cause water to gush out of the shower and into the bathroom. There are no handholds in there and it is very slippery. Just a very odd shower, I will say. And no, I don't expect anything to be done about that (nor did I die experiencing it), this seems like a good place to vent to myself about how much I did not like it.

This is one of the best marriots in the bay area. I always feel at home here and my son that is autistic loves it here. The staff are phenomenonal and has the best customer service. Nadine, Denise, Jeanne and Mae represents Marriot in a superior elite way. This Marriot is always my go to. Thank you for always giving me great service. Beds are comfortable.

I really liked this hotel. It was clean, well decorated and roomy. I’ve stayed in the majority of other hotels at least once in the Pleasanton Dublin area. This is I’ll be my first choice moving forward. I got a mini suite that had a loft vibe and plenty of room. The entire hotel was very swanky and welcoming with modern contemporary decor. There’s a bar, pool table and other games for guests. I usually like to stay closer to the Stone ridge area, but this hotel is worth the extra few minutes drive. The only reason I have them 4 stars instead of 5 is due to not having WiFi access for over two hours during my visit. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay. Would recommend.

I had a one-night stay at Aloft for a business meeting, and it was good for a quick trip. The room was clean, comfortable, making it easy to relax after a busy day. The hotel’s modern vibe and convenient amenities were

OK. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth check-in and check-out process. I would definitely stay here again for a short business trip.

If you are looking for a quiet room for a good night’s sleep, then this is NOT the place for you. The doors slam too loud each time a guest enters / exits a room, and the room air conditioning unit noise levels are extremely high at over 60dB.

This would be 3.5 if we could give half stars. I would even up it 4 stars if the cleanliness would have been a bit better in the rooms.

So.....

Overall this places vibe is if a modern hotel had a baby with a retro hotel. The decor is quirky and fun. The layout is pretty nice. It's in a great location which would be 5 stars by itself. It feels safe and is very accessible to lots of stuff. The front of the house staff upon checking in (Jean) was welcoming and very knowledgeable. The lobby was very eclectic. Pool table, game area, bar. I can see it being a fun place to hang out if you're with a group. They have a nice little grab and go area for snacks. They have a free coffee and infused water set up upon entering. You can set up getting breakfast the next morning. Grab and go simple menu choices. They feature recycling bins along side every trash can, in and out of the rooms which is nice to see.

Our stay was 1 night, king bed regular room. The room was good on size and decorated bright and fun. Modern feel, like no closets only a hanging station and a 2 drawer luggage table. Makes the room feel more open without all the doors and cabinets. For short stays who really needs closets anyway. The bathroom is okay in size, with a huge shower. The water pressure was decent, the temperature was okay. Had to turn the knob to full hot to have it at what would be regular at home. The bed was very soft. Pillow top and super sinking in feeling. Okay by me, but my fiancé needs firm. For one night this was okay, but had we stayed multiple nights, that bed would have lead to severe back pain by the end of the trip for them. Nice large TV, although we didn't use it. Mini fridge and great coffee set up. 2 bottles of free water were included in the room. Unfortunately they're were a few things that could use attention. The room wasn't as clean as it should be. For the rating this property gets and prices charged, I expected better. The room had a musty scent, quite noticeable upon entry. Thought using the air conditioner might help but it didn't. really. Either we got used to it or it dissipated a little as the night went on. The air conditioner was a little wonky. When it was blowing cool air it was great. But when it got to the set temperature or just below it started blowing normal air, instead of just shutting off and on as needed. Kind of like it was self regulating or something. It was frustrating because I kept waking up hot, then cold and so forth. We did have breakfast there. We got a breakfast biscuit sandwich and egg bites, apple juice and coconut water. Prices were fair. Fortunately for this visit we were comped. The robot butler that delivers to the room was unavailable due to maintenance during the morning, so we didn't get to experience that feature. Kind of a bummer. Wanted to see what that was all about. Checking out was easy and again a very friendly staff member. (May....Jean's sister, haha... great attitudes just run in the family) Staff wise this place is 5 stars. Overall the stay was nice and would stay here again, but only for over night visits and if the price was right.

The service here is always top tier, the lobby ambiance is beautiful. Shirley put the icing on the cake with her superior customer service. This is my go to hotel when I need to book a room. The rooms are modern and the beds are comfortable.
