I always set my own on the phone in the room (I think all IHG properties are supposed to have the automated option) because I know that the front desk can get busy and distracted. But, it was great service to have the hotel do all that for you. Most of all, they took ownership which is really the most important part.
I agree. The ownership in this case was very important. I'm also surprised that so many people think that it isn't a big deal. I usually set other alarms as well, but a hotel guest should still be able to rely on a wakeup call.
