"Pillows and Trains."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
I had planned a nice birthday weekend for my wife and stayed at the Aloft Durham Downtown. Unfortunately neither of us were able to get a decent nights sleep for two reasons. One was the pillows were paper thin and incredibly uncomfortable. Second, there is an active railroad nearby with trains running all night and the windows are not sound proof whatsoever so multiple times during the time we are woken up to a train horn blaring.

Testimonials:
"I wish I knew about you guys sooner, I've enjoyed being able to come home and go to the computer and see lots of hotels asking me to stay with them. (almost like that commercial, when the banks fight over getting your business) Will recommend to others and can't wait to use the service again myself." P.C. - Philadelphia, PA
