Aloft is supposedly the "hip" budget brand of SPG. I stayed at the Aloft SAT before, despite being fairly new room was in bad condition, poor sound insulation, loud aircon unit. But the price was $80 so no real complaints - you get what you pay for.

Although I'm sure the Aloft Perth won't be $80 a night!
