Some might say that Rancho Cucamonga, California is a strange place for a ribbon cutting ceremony, but we figure that there's hardly a better place in America to have HDTV within an air conditioned room. Sure, it's not exactly in Death Valley or anything, but the aloft Ontario-Rancho Cucamonga is close enough to Zzyzx to warrant an excuse for staying indoors during the summer. The 136-room venue just opened its doors to guests last week, becoming the very first
aloft hotel to actually open for business in the United States. Each guest room has its own HDTV and connectivity panel, and the hotel-wide WiFi should keep you satisfactorily connected during your stay. Anyone plan on stopping by?

Well, hell.
I _live_ in Rancho Cucamonga and I'm thinking of checking this out.

HD, free wifi, fancy bed... you can get that at a new Hampton Inn too, for quite a bit less....

not entirely accurate, as there is an aloft hotel about 20 miles from my house that has been open for about 2 months aleast... a friend had her bachelorette party there 2 weekends ago... unless Im missing something??

Death Valley is gorgeous in the summer.

aloft is definitely not Hampton Inn. I stay at Hampton Inn and a lot of other hotels each year. I was fortunate to see the aloft design warehouse before they started opening. This is a W hotel scaled down to affordability for the everyday business (or family) traveler. If you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or young at heart, this will definitely blow the doors off of any Hilton lower or middle tier hotel, even Sheraton Four Points (part of the same Starwood family). I just stayed at the Sheraton Four Points at PHL and cannot wait until the aloft opens there.
