Beyond the family triple room, I also booked a single king room for myself for the last two days, so I'll focus on my positive experience during that stay.
I was particularly impressed by the male staff member at the Hanting's main reception and a female staff member with a super-short, boyish haircut. Their service was excellent, and they were very efficient at solving guest issues. On the last two days, when the male staff member was helping me, he thoughtfully realized that the king room was booked by a solo female traveler. He then had the short-haired female staff member, who was already off duty, assist me, and even gave me a fruit plate and special Datong tea (see picture 6). When checking out, a male staff member at the breakfast station gave me a bottle of Datong vinegar. I'm very grateful for how they enhanced my Datong trip.
However, it's worth noting that while the Hanting staff are capable, perhaps they shouldn't be overly friendly, especially when it might lead to a few idle female colleagues with long hair at the front desk not pulling their weight. Some of these long-haired colleagues don't actually do much, are even lacking in basic polite greetings, yet one tried to take credit and asked me to cooperate with her during my check-out. It was quite tactless and undermined the hard work of her colleagues. Perhaps some additional training for the female long-haired staff at the main reception would be beneficial.
