The first day was so great that I prepaid made reservations for a future visit. However, the following morning after taking a morning walk and attempting to have breakfast, I was approached by employee Silvia. She first stood and watched me serve myself until I noticed her. She questioned my legitimacy of being there. Some of the same guests that I came down on the elevator with were still present and highly doubt they were confronted. Mind you, as I walked through the lobby I exchanged pleasantries with an employee cleaning and noticed an employee at the front desk. Silvia claimed that it's her job to profile people to be sure they belonged. She didn't accept that I was a guest until I pulled out my room card. Then she walked off with a smirk on her face. I later approached the her at the front desk and inquired about being profiled. Her response again was, " it's my job and that someone had come in last week from the hospital. I responded, " last week had nothing to do we me and that not only did she profiled, but stereotyped me as well. Again, claiming it's her job. I've stayed at many IHG hotels and had never experienced such obvious bias treatment. Had I not prepaid for a future reservation, I highly doubt that I would have after my experience with Silvia.

Very nice facility and staff. Location was OK. Not much in immediate vicinity, but shuttle to Broadway was appreciated. Valet parking system was super clunky, inefficient. At one point the staff/system basically lost our vehicle. The long wait to retrieve it was frustrating.

Extremely clean, quiet, and huge buffet breakfast! We loved the big picture window in our room to see the city at night. Conviently located close to hospitals. Elliston Place is not a very busy street. Only downfall is the hotel is a valet only parking at $44 a night.
