Crowne Plaza Wuxi City Center, an IHG Hotel

This is considered a "5 star" hotel in China. For a large international brand, there were issues: 1. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful, with most speaking proficient English. Sven was especially helpful. 2. Restaurant and wait staff were not as proficient with English. 3. Public areas were looking worn-out/dated. Chairs in restaurants were too low for the tables. 4. Food in restaurants was good, but service was slow. 4. Room service was fairly priced, but repeated things like forgetting silverware, condiments, or incomplete orders made the process not enjoyable. 5. One night, my child had a nose bleed. There was blood on the linens. Upon check-out we found we were charged an extra "cleaning fee" for this. While this type of charge may be common (?) in China, I have never had it happen in Europe, the United States or other Asian countries. For a minor incident over a 9 night stay, I thought this was a bit much. I had never had this happen to me in China before.
