Even worse is we sometimes get a cheese plate and nothing else, which basically means my girlfriend can't have anything. There's a reason there's no dairy stuff on my list. I honestly think many concierge teams don't even read your requests.

I definitely remember both the good ones and the bad ones, and this greatly factors into which Kimpton hotels I keep going back to, or not going back to.
Have you sent an email to the concierge team prior to your arrival, explaining that your girlfriend needs to avoid dairy, so you'd like your welcome amenity to reflect the no dairy restriction?
