Beautiful
hotel,
but
there’s
room
for
improvement
in
service.
The
rooms
and
hotel
are
well
appointed
with
nice
amenities,
but
we
had
several
points
of
service
that
have
left
a
negative
view.
Upon
arrival,
no
one
was
available
to
help
with
our
bags,
which
required
us
to
carry
them
up
the
stairs
after
a
long
week
of
travel
throughout
France.
During
a
quick
introduction
to
the
hotel,
we
were
told
we
could
enjoy
cocktails
on
the
terrace
if
we
went
to
the
bar
to
get
our
drinks.
So,
we
attempted
to
grab
a
drink
to
enjoy
outside
(as
the
bar
was
full),
but
were
told
this
was
not
an
option.
A
few
hours
later,
we
were
preparing
for
dinner
when
housekeeping
arrived
around
7
pm,
which
aligns
with
the
earliest
dinner
time
in
Paris,
so
we
hadn’t
left
yet.
I
informed
them
that
we
would
like
turn
down
service
after
we
left
for
our
8:15
reservation.
Upon
our
return,
we
were
very
disappointed
to
see
there
was
no
turn
down.
When
calling
to
the
front
desk
to
ask
for
the
turn
down
chocolate,
there
was
nothing
he
said
he
could
do.
However,
the
next
morning
upon
checkout,
a
note
was
provided
on
the
lack
of
turn
down
and
my
spa
service
had
been
comped,
so
it
was
a
nice
recovery.
Following
our
checkout,
we
were
graciously
helped
with
our
bags
and
loaded
into
our
vehicle,
so
it
felt
like
there
was
some
additional
attention
after
the
note.
A
few
areas
have
room
for
improvement
to
truly
be
considered
5
star.
Even
the
simple
acts
of
having
a
bellman
or
doorman
greet
guests
was
missing.
A
few
times
it
felt
as
if
we
were
a
nuisance
to
staff
for
having
a
request.
What
makes
a
hotel
considered
5
star
is
not
only
the
facilities,
but
heavily
weighted
on
the
level
of
service.
I
think
to
consider
the
Saint
James
truly
a
luxury
property,
all
staff
members
should
aim
to
make
guests
feel
welcomed,
and
not
more
like
an
inconvenience.
