The lights in the room were constantly flickering and the alarm kept going off. When I spoke to the front desk, they mentioned a similar issue the night before. If a room is faulty, it shouldn't be assigned to another guest. We were moved to a new room after 10 PM, but the slippers there were visibly dirty and clearly hadn't been cleaned. Both rooms had the same layout, but the furnishings, including the front desk phone and bathroom counter decorations, were different.
Breakfast was incredibly frustrating. Despite the serving hours being 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM, by 8-ish, there was hardly any food left, and everything was cold. Milk, soy milk, and rice porridge were all cold, with no side dishes. The only thing possibly left was fried noodles, which were also stone cold, hard, tasteless, and utterly unappetizing. None of the dishes were labeled, so I couldn't tell if something was a sweet potato, purple yam, or a mix of both. The toast was gone, and the machine was already turned off, leaving only cold croissants. The food was just awful. I tried to get an egg, but it still had chicken droppings on it. When I grabbed a cup for soy milk, it was chipped – whose responsibility would it be if I cut myself? The fried dough sticks were the hardest I've ever encountered; they seemed to have no flour and were completely inedible, even if they were pre-made, they should at least be chewable.
We booked this hotel because of its 4.8-star rating, so why are we experiencing such issues now? The food quality is clearly unmanaged, and there are no hot dishes. If you can't provide hot food, don't claim to serve from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM. If you do serve during these hours, then ensure your dishes are fully stocked. You charge 30 yuan per person for breakfast, so there should be a standard that reflects that. If you aim to be a high-end hotel, then you need to have the corresponding standards and systems in place.
My experience was absolutely terrible, terrible, terrible!
