Orient Hotel

booked this location based on reviews (I guess fake) on trip.com. the location was in a seedy area of *** massage places and 'spas' with no real quality food or convenience stores nearby. the room I booked was very old and pretty shabby, and bed hard as typical in chinese 2 star hotels...but the big problem was a zoo of noisy neighbors in the nearby rooms, smoking and carrying on all up and down the hallway. walls and windows were paper thin, so i went to the management to ask about canceling my reservation and moving to a nearby brand new Country Inn from Radisson that was 2 doors down and seemed quieter and was actually less expensive....they offered me a different room and gave me the key to check it out... it was a huge 150m2 apartment type room on its own floor, so no neighbors to make noise.. I accepted. but, all night due to paper thin windows you could hear every truck, scooter and car rumble down the road. the sheets were starched cardboard, and literally cracked when you move them....and the pinnacle of ridiculousness was the giant bathroom with a shower head mounted too close to the wall to stand under it, and max 2% water pressure. There was only a trickle of almost warm water coming from the shower head. oh and another impressive 'feature' of this suite was a dressing room with at least 5 closets with a total of 2 hangers to hang your clothes... so in all, was just a huge empty noisy room with no amenities. I appreciate the staff offering the upgrade, but they should update the hotel including their vip suite

Good treatment, nice environment
