Pros:

Friendly and very helpful staff. Sauna and steam room was a nice bonus

Cons:

The air-conditioning was not working well. The food was very salty and there wasn't the greatest of variety. There wasn't a sign to state there were classes running in the swimming pool

Extremely friendly and accommodating for a new wheelchair user.
Pros:

We work at Excel multiple times a year, so we always book at Aloft for the convenience of how close it is to our stall and amenities. This time, I alerted them that I am in a wheelchair (which is a new thing for me) and, if possible, to be on the second floor so it's a straight roll out to the courtyard and into the Excel.

Instead of doing that, they placed me on a different floor. But it was actually closer to the elevators so it was less traveling for me and the room was accessible - something I failed to even consider in the first place! They went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable. The staff were accommodating and extremely friendly and understanding, and made me feel seen and cared for.

Cons:

The pillows could be better! They're very flat and not very friendly on the neck. The only other thing we noticed was the red emergency pull-string in the bathroom was hiding behind the glass pane in the bathroom - meaning if someone falls in the bath, they cannot reach for that specific cord. Aside from that, everything was perfect!

Need to tighten the screw in table lamp. It is broken now. Need to help with hanging wet cloth.
Pros:

The bed is good. It would be better if the bed frame is NOT fixed, with that parents could move two beds close together so that small kids can stay safely.

Cons:

No facility to hand wet cloth in bathroom
