The shower room had bugs. The pillows were old and flat. The mattress moved around on the bed frame as if it didn’t fit correctly.

The Aloft hotel is very convenient for the Excel centre but it’s a quite average hotel and I was expecting better given that we paid over £600 for a two night stay. The food isn’t great so we ordered via Uber eats both nights. In our room the shampoo dispenser was broken, the air conditioning was broken so the room was very warm and the tv was broken and kept turning itself off every couple of minutes. Breakfast was very average. It was just a little disappointing but it was good for the venue we were going to.

Great hotel at really good value when there’s no event on, was a little disappointed to see the ‘lucky wheel’ being spun for guests checking in as I waited to check out as I’d seen it but not been offered a go - it’s a nice quirky touch. Pool is lovely area is clean and calm.

Felt like it was a bad day on the day we chose to go, we were told on arrival they had no double rooms left as they were at capacity even though a double was booked for my fiancée and I and were given a family room instead and offered free parking (a mere £20) we were informed the room was bigger which was the only difference only to accept and see that they had given us 2 very small double beds which were set on opposite sides of the room. Upon checkout there was literally a queue of complaints waiting to speak to the duty manager. Very unorganised and unprofessional for the standards of “The Marriott”

Lovely stay at Alof beside Excel. Staff super professional but friendly, both at breakfast, dinner & on reception. Bed very comfortable & room spacious enough for one person. WiFi was annoying, logging in & reconnecting but otherwise all good!
