Fairfield by Marriott Baoding: A Bumpy Journey but a Comfortable Stay, Though Hygiene Details Were Disappointing.
This stay was quite a journey, literally. The first time I navigated, I accidentally drove to the Xiong'an New Area branch, and it took another hour and a half to drive back to this Baoding location. Although the journey was tiring, the comfortable amenities upon arrival made up for some of the fatigue.
The hotel exterior is modern and grand, and the lobby is spacious and bright. Check-in at the front desk was very efficient. The room was a standard king-size, with a Serta mattress and waffle-weave bedding that was just the right firmness for a good night's sleep. The hotel is located in downtown Baoding, with convenient dining and shopping nearby; there's a snack street and a supermarket just a few minutes' walk away.
However, the only truly disappointing aspect was that the room's cleanliness wasn't thorough enough. On the bathroom wall, there was still a used bandage from the previous guest. This sight was really off-putting and made me question the standard of room cleaning.
Overall, aside from this obvious hygiene lapse, the hotel's facilities and service were good. I hope the hotel can improve its room inspection process so that such details don't ruin the overall experience. If the hygiene improves, I would still consider staying here next time I visit Baoding.
