This manifested itself most obviously in the housekeeping at the InterContinental Paris \u2013 Le Grand. The room was spotless upon my arrival at 11 a.m. on a Saturday. After a dinner outing, I found it prepared for the night by turndown service, with slippers placed by the bed, curtains drawn and fresh towels in the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>The following day, despite being out of the room from around 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the room had not been serviced. By the time I&#8217;d returned from evening activities and dinner, though, I&#8217;d received turndown service and a full cleaning. This included a freshly made bed, a vacuumed carpet, clean surfaces, drawn curtains and a freshened bathroom with new towels.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"the-fitness-center-is-small-but-serviceable\" class=\"jsx-133228390 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-133228390\">The fitness center is small but serviceable<\/h2>\n<p>It can be hard to find the fitness center \u2014 which is on the hotel&#8217;s first (American second) floor \u2014 since you have to make your way down several hallways.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-2125870997 tpg-gallery\">\n<p>1<!-- --> of <!-- -->4<\/p>\n<p>ERIC ROSEN\/THE POINTS GUY<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>It feels almost like a makeshift facility in two converted guest rooms.
