The Ritz-Carlton Hotels in Clayton

Pros: The room was beautiful, modern and very well appointed . Housekeeping was seamless . Breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious and had something for everyone . Staff at breakfast were accommodating and provided excellent service . The Cigar Club was outstanding . Ambiance , service and drinks were unique and very enjoyable . Lobby was very beautiful in an old school kind of way. Lovely hotel. Cons: front desk staff needs better training . Upon arrival we sat there for about 10 minutes being simply ignored by two front desk staff members who were helping someone . I understand perfectly they were busy but least a greeting would have been nice , or one of the two staffers attending to us while the other one helped the other guest . Once they helped us, they were polite, but not overly welcoming . Through the fine resorts and hotels programs we didn’t get the automatic upgrade or the welcome amenity that we should have received . Upon check out we had to call someone because the two front desk staff members available were in the back room chatting and laughing loudly but no one attending to the front desk. Towels, please replace them or at least bleach them . They all had seen better days. The smaller towels were in better shape and you could see the contrast with the large older looking towels . These details matter a lot at a hotel like this. Overall it was a nice stay but at times didn’t seem to match other stays at other Ritz Carlton properties we’ve stayed at in terms of attention to detail or level of service provided by the front desk.
