I stayed at the Aloft 4 nights. I had planned to stay at the Sheraton across the street, but, they closed for renovations about two weeks prior to my arrival. I received some benefits as a Marriott Bonvoy member at the Aloft. The Aloft's location was excellent [5.0], as it was located in the safe, modern area of Asuncion, within walking distance to two major shopping malls. The hotel is a typical Aloft that you would see anywhere in the world: basic offerings with a modern design. They are too basic for my needs, but, I really had no other choice given the short notice of the Sheraton closing. The assigned room [1001] was poor [0.0], primarily due to noise from the hotel's rooftop club that permeated throughout the hotel. Thus, I had to move to a room on a lower floor [0105]; I could still heard the music vibration on the first floor, but, fortunately, the AC fan drowned it out. Loud, rooftop clubs are a big thing nowadays around the world, and I just wish owners would choose to be a club or a hotel, not both. Both rooms were in typical Aloft style: small, basic, clean with comfortable beds, but, no chairs to sit. Although both rooms were in the back of the hotel, street noise could still be hear. The bathrooms were small, but, the shower water pressure and temperature were great. Both rooms were showing wear and tear, particularly with the carpets and bathroom tiles. The AC worked great. Staff service was excellent [5.0] throughout the entire hotel. English was widely spoken by most staff members, particularly at reception, which is always very much appreciated! Most staff were friendly and approachable. The breakfast buffet was good [4.1], but not great. However, as is typical of Aloft hotels, there was an assortment of typical breakfast items, including processed food, fruit, bakery items, eggs, bread, yogurt, etc. For me, the eggs tasted strange and the coffee, which was provided in tall mugs [love that], also tasted strange. Service in the breakfast area was excellent. The rooftop gym facility was fair [3.0], had I used it. But, I didn't use it because it was rather basic and small. I did sit at the rooftop lounge one afternoon. However, I didn't stay long, because a drunken family was playing music from their boombox at full volume. It really was disturbing; hotel staff did nothing.
