Recently stayed at the Aloft Tokyo. Elite welcome gift is choice of points, breakfast or food & beverage at the bar. Since breakfast starts at 7am and I had to depart at 6am I chose the F&B over the 500 points. The food was a small appetizer plate of 3 slices of smoked salmon, 3 slices of smoked ham and 3 slices of cheese. The drink was anything from their happy hour menu. I was also provided a separate elite welcome drink ticket. So two drinks and some small food.

I would have much preferred breakfast but timing didn't work in my favor as I had to head off to NRT.

And for those who don't read the whole thread....take the train to Higashi-Ginza station (from either NRT or HND), take exit A1 and do a U-turn at the top of the stairs. Then turn right at the traffic light and proceed one block down. Aloft is first, AC second, Courtyard third.
