Jiuzhaigou Jiuyunju Holiday Boutique Stay

Excellent! We booked the Peppa Pig themed family room, which was so much fun – it really brought me back to my childhood. The projector was also a big plus for me, perfect for binging shows at night! It's quite cold here at night right now, but the air conditioning kept the room warm. We even went out for dinner, and the AC was still running when we got back, so it was nice and cozy. Plus, there's an electric blanket for sleeping, so we weren't cold at all – actually, it was so warm I didn't even want to use the duvet! Most importantly, they can help arrange a driver for transfers between the hotel and Jiuzhaigou! The lobby is also beautiful; I kept taking photos while waiting for our bus back. If you book the bus through the Jiuzhaigou mini-program in advance, you can select the Howard Johnson Tianyuan Resort for both往返 (round trips).

My first impression of the hotel was quite good. The front desk staff was very kind and even helped me carry my luggage upstairs. The replies from the concierge via WeChat were also very prompt. However, I have a complaint about the late check-out. Ctrip offers a late check-out until 2 PM. I messaged the concierge asking if I could extend it by just half an hour, but they absolutely refused. They told me that new guests were checking in at 2 or 3 PM the next day. But when I checked the booking site, there were still empty rooms of the same type available for sale the next day. Why were they in such a rush to get me out if they weren't fully booked? The funniest part was when they said, "You're supposed to check out at 12 PM anyway, we already extended it to 2 PM for you." Am I supposed to thank them for that? What's the point of Ctrip offering a 2 PM late check-out then? Also, there were yellow stains on the pillow, and after sleeping on it, my neck turned red.
