Not planning on heading to the
Windy City just to check out one of those fanciful new
aloft hotels? How's about Jacksonville, Florida? Sure enough, one of the aforementioned hotels is heading to the Sunshine State, and it's slated to include 136 HDTV-equipped guest rooms when it welcomes guests in next January. Aimed at "youthful-minded travelers," the building is being constructed with a number of "intuitive technologies and atmospheric public spaces." aloft Jacksonville Airport, as it'll properly be known, will be located just minutes away from JAX and under a half-hour from the downtown area. No word on HDTV programming that'll be available nor nightly rates, but it won't be long now before you can find out in person.

Who cares it's a HDTV if the TV is that freaking tiny.

There's an aloft hotel in North Charleston, SC that's about to open.

Looks like maybe a 26"
Anyway, you should be too drunk or too tired when you get back to your hotel room to care about the TV.

I recently stayed in a residence inn in melbourne, fl. every room had a 46" ish LG LCD. None of the content was HD. What is the point?

But is it real HDTV, or just Stretch-O-Vision?
