 Restaurant was lousy Sat evening the bar service was slow We asked to eat in the bar area because there weren t any tables in the restaurant A staff member said you can t the manager won t let you But didn t ask if we d like to book a table So we had to find another staff member to book They said I ll be back in 5 minutes but didn t re appear In the end we approached a woman who appeared to be the manager She said I ll be 5 minutes Finally we booked a table but several other people were seated before us even though they didn t appear to have waited as long When we finally got a table the service was slow and the food was poor for the price Breakfast was equally poor food anaemic looking fruit tasteless cooked breakfast Aloft is a contemporary hotel but the food really lets the hotel down Won t eat there next time 
 Room was great clean quiet spacious wifi easy to use good location of Excel Reception staff really helpful
