"Honestly, I find this hotel quite ridiculous. I first came here right after it opened, and I even left two positive reviews because the service was excellent back then, including the welcome fruit and the overall reception. But this time, the hotel's service was simply unbelievable. It feels like if you encounter a problem, they won't help you solve it; you're on your own. Their attitude is basically, 'This is how it is, deal with it, and if you have a problem, that's not our issue.'
On the first night, at the bar, the bartender was busy attending to foreign customers. I asked for a drink menu three times, and they just ignored me. I ended up having to go to the bar myself to get one, even though there were only two other tables in the lobby at the time.
The second day, I felt the room was too low. I didn't want to bother Ctrip directly, but since my membership tier allows for unlimited room upgrades, I first confirmed this benefit with Ctrip's customer service, who then contacted the hotel on my behalf. I also complained to the hotel about their incredibly slow room service. The longest I waited for an order was 40 minutes – that's how long it took for them to deliver an order I could have picked up myself in that time.
The duty manager who came to resolve the issue just told me that too many people were ordering and that my room was the best one. What am I supposed to do with that? Should I donate a delivery robot to them? Saying my room is the best is just looking for trouble. Then, the lobby manager called, and after I reiterated the same problem – that the room wasn't good – their solution was to offer a free breakfast. Of course, I didn't eat the breakfast because their breakfast is terrible; I've had it before. Regardless of how the owner arranges things or trains their staff, the overall impression this hotel gives is that either you're an alien, or they simply couldn't care less about you. Everything is incredibly slow. Can't you fix this? Customers want to order food; you're not going to starve us, are you? Or you could just tell us, 'This is all we have, just wait.' Or, 'Your room is on a low floor and not great, just put up with it, it's the best.' 'We can't change your room, so here, have some breakfast.' You complain about a problem, and you never get a proper explanation or a solution. It's utterly perplexing! I should just change hotels. You travel all this way home, carrying so many things, only to deal with this.
From a hardware perspective, many reviews have already truthfully pointed out that for this price, it really can't compare to Sheratons in other cities. The quality of this chain brand in this particular city just doesn't measure up. It's not just other cities; even the quality of the drinks at their own bar is inconsistent. The first photo is from this trip, and the second is from February. It's truly baffling. All I can say is that after these few days, I will never stay at this hotel again. It just feels so strange. The staff might think they're working in a five-star hotel, but as a guest, you absolutely do not feel like this is a five-star chain hotel. I even started to wonder if it was a fake, or if all the previous staff were fired after just six months. This attitude is evident from top to bottom, even with the housekeeping staff. For a five-star brand like yours, your staff training should at least live up to your brand's reputation. I simply don't want to communicate with them anymore because it's pointless; problems won't get resolved. It's truly confusing."
