The service was terrible and the attitude was arrogant. This is my first negative review for this hotel after 10 years as a Ctrip user.
1. I booked a 4-day, 3-night stay. On the first day, I checked in around 3 PM and was told the room wasn't cleaned properly. There was no apology, no explanation, no reassurance, and no indication of how long it would take; I was just told to wait.
2. On the second day, after sightseeing, I returned to the hotel, but my room card wouldn't open the door. I went back to the front desk, but they offered no explanation or apology, which already made me unhappy.
3. On the third day, after sightseeing, I returned and the card still wouldn't open the door. This time I was really angry and went to the front desk for an explanation. The front desk staff didn't even look up and said that's how their room cards are; they have to be swiped once a day. Don't you find that ridiculous?
So I contacted the platform. The platform said the hotel needed to contact me first, but after nearly half an hour, no one contacted me. After the platform followed up, I requested that I cancel the third night and get a refund for that night's room fee. The platform communicated with the hotel for less than a minute, and I received the refund, indicating that someone at the hotel was always in charge, just not contacting me. Until I checked out, I never received any explanation, apology, or solution from the hotel.
I contacted three front desk staff over three days. Two of them were incompetent in terms of attitude and problem-solving. The worst were the male front desk staff on the second and third days. A woman who seemed to be in charge was often sitting in the lobby, but she never intervened. Even after the platform contacted the hotel, no one from the hotel actually stepped in. The neighboring hotel, which is likely the same company and of a certain size, is another example. I don't believe this hotel lacks management experience; I think it's a problem of attitude.
Most people who stay in hotels in Jiuzhaigou make a one-time purchase; few return or stay multiple times. Making money in popular domestic tourist areas is too easy, especially during peak season. Regardless of the hotel's condition, it's always fully booked and making money effortlessly. That's why hotels like this exist.
Jiuzhaigou is beautiful; the only downside was the disappointing hotel service this time.
