There's tons of hotel news flying around this week and we don't have time to give each and every story the love and attention it may deserve, so you will have to settle for some news briefs -- today, we're focusing on Aloft because we've been slacking on our exhaustive, feverish coverage.

· Aloft Denver Doesn't Look So Ready: Supposedly, Aloft Denver is going to be opening on October 2nd. An HC operative sent in these snapshots of the property -- and, uh, raise your hand if you think they're gonna make it on time? [HC]

· Aloft Charlotte Delayed or Just Cautious?: Reader K. wrote in with a bit of a conundrum: he checked on availability online for the Aloft Charlotte -- which is supposed to open November 1st -- and the website says "Now accepting reservations for arrival on or after January 1, 2009." Does that mean the opening is delayed, or is S-wood just playin' it safe?

· The Brand Gets Some Pretty Damn Good Reviews: We swung by our ol' pal TA to check on guest responses to the brand as a whole -- and the majority of reviews are in the 4-5 range! Congrats, Aloft! [TripAdvisor]

· Except for This Review of the Aloft O'Hare: Cue sad cartoon music -- this reviewer called Aloft O'Hare the "worst hotel experience ever" and was apparently sent over the edge by Hanson's "Mmmmbop." [TripAdvisor]
