To my surprise, there was still a lot of room for improvement in the service provided by the front desk and housekeeping staff.
We arrived very early in the morning. As globalist members, we were allowed to check in at noon, but we arrived later than everyone else. We returned around 5 p.m., more than two hours past the normal check-in time, and the hotel still hadn't arranged a room for us, telling us to wait another 20 minutes for cleaning.
It's very difficult to get through to room service by phone, and even if you do get through, they won't provide any service. They won't proactively inform you if something is missing. You have to wait for over an hour and make a third call before they'll tell you it's out of stock. If you request something through their mobile app, it will show as delivered, but in reality, nothing has been delivered.
If you go to the front desk because you can't contact room service, the front desk will tell you to go back to your room and scan the QR code on the TV screen to request room service in the last ten minutes. That's the QR code we can't find no matter how hard we try. The front desk can't provide any help, can't help you make an internal call, and can't provide amenities like other Andaz hotels do.
Thankfully, their breakfast restaurant service was quite good and professional, and their responsiveness was excellent. It felt like they were in a different place, and it was hard to believe they came from the same hotel.
