pillow delay inconsistent service
I found some aspects of my stay disappointing. My request for extra pillows seemed to get lost, and it took three phone calls and over an hour for them to arrive. The promised turndown service was also inconsistent. It only happened one night out of my four-night stay. I found this lack of attention to detail surprising for a hotel of this caliber. The basement location of my assigned room was also unsettling.

the customer service was excellent, with every staff member going the extra mile. elizabeth, the manager, warmly greeted me and provided a surprise upgrade to a one bedroom suite with a balcony. pula and carmen provided very friendly service during breakfast in the lounge. luis was also very friendly and helpful with afternoon tea and evening canapés.
i did find the minibar charge a little unfortunate, as similar ihg group hotels sometimes include it.
