Aloft Hotel in the Triangle?

[ChiefJoJo]

Rendering from the N&O today:

Looks pretty much like every suburban hotel I've ever seen.

I looks alright to me. Nothing to bold I must admit. But at least we got one. This will be the first in the state right?

Maybe i'd be more impressed with an interior rendering.... It looks like a Hampton/Comfort/Express/whatever to me.

I hope that if they or another hotel builds in downtown Raleigh that it comes out more like the Lafayette. Tall and unique! Which is truth be told what I was expecting from this company. I feel that Dwntwn Raleigh is getting the much better deal from Greg Hatem and Empire Properties. We'll see what the future holds!
