Friend Plaza Hotel

The Hotel is Good we have stay there with Family (in a Family room ) lots of toys for the kids play in the room. Swimming pool is nice and is open until 21:30 what is nice. Breakfast is 90% Chinese style but they have a corner for wester Breakfast with some variety. Dinner in the hotel is so so ... not so nice,) we just have dinner there in the day we arrive. You can found much better and cheaper places near the hotel or in the city center. The hotel is located near the "Half moon island" that is a bit far from the center or "broken Bridge" , never the less by taxy will take you 15 to 20 min to arrive there.

When I arrived at the hotel, the cleaning lady was in the midst of “cleaning” my room still. She did the quickest cleaning job imaginable. I don’t believe the bathroom had been sanitized at all -such that I opted not to use the bathtub. The carpets were in great need of vacuuming. When I did my morning exercises, filth from the carpets stuck all over my skin and I could see the furniture hadn’t been moved in ages to vacuum. The room even smelled of dirty carpet. The kitchen had nice food in general and the dining hall was clean. I recommend the duck. However on another occasion I ordered 3 food items and a watermelon juice. The vegetable never came, so when I asked to cancel it, 20 minutes after we were finished eating, they suddenly brought it. I said I didn’t want to pay for it because we needed to leave. All subsequent meals, I was asked if I was really going to eat my food and pay for it. Basically I was treated as if it was my fault their timing was wrong. When I arrived to pay, i was shocked to find that watermelon juice cost 92 yuan for a pitcher. I could have bought 2 watermelons for that price. I wondered if the price was to offset the unwanted vegetables. My view was amazing. I could see the island, North Korea, and the bridges. We could walk of an evening and enjoy the sights. Finally, I began menstruating whilst on the trip. I had no menstrual napkins. This seems like a basic item the hotel should have on hand. They did not. I bled on the sheets. Upon leaving, the cleaning lady began cleaning before I left the room which I found embarrassing. In the hotel’s defense, they let me stay until 2:00 because I wasn’t feeling well, but the cleaning lady should have waited until I left the room before beginning to clean. That was super awkward. The fitness room met my fitness needs. It had equipment and weights. No one was using the fitness room and I preferred to lift weights in the privacy of my room. I borrowed 2 dumbells to use for about 30 minutes. A man saw me walking out with them and befan loudly questioning me in Chinese (a language I speak poorly) and treating me as if I was going to steal them. I was not inconveniencing anyone as no one was exercising.
