I arrived around 9 PM on November 7th. It was drizzling. The front desk gave me room 2203, a double room with a balcony. Since I'm writing a review, I'll give an objective one, which has its merits and demerits:
I. The First Room I Booked
1. Room 2203 is in area 2, on the second floor. There's no elevator. A staff member helped with my luggage, thank you!
2. The shower exhaust fan was silent. I assumed it wasn't working. I contacted the front desk, and a male staff member came. He didn't give me a direct answer as to whether it was good or bad, only saying it seemed to be working. So, I can only describe the situation: there was no sound at all, as if it wasn't working. This is just my subjective assumption, but it was also raining, so the room was a bit damp when I showered. After all, people need to use the toilet, so there will be some unspeakable air pollution indoors, right?
3. Some walls were damp and blistering; the small bathtub on the balcony was dirty and clearly labeled "abandoned"; the sheer curtains had sharp, right-angled tears and stitching marks, about a foot long; the sofa was old, pilling, and the lining was loose, making it unsafe to sit on.
4. The sheets were relatively clean, but the duvet cover had brown spots, possibly from cigarette burns.
5. The room was dimly lit, making it uncomfortable and oppressive.
II. Room Change
1. Room 3203: After my wife contacted the front desk, they said they would change us to another room the next day, also in 3203. It had a small balcony and no outdoor bathtub, but they gave us two beds, one large and one small. Thank you to the front desk!
2. This room had clearly been renovated, and the lighting was brighter, making us feel much better.
3. There is an elevator, but the glass-enclosed elevator was not working, possibly due to a problem. Moving luggage was something we had to manage ourselves.
III. Breakfast
1. Chinese breakfast: Century egg and lean pork congee. Very good, very fragrant. The first time I've had such delicious congee. Kudos to the chef who made this congee!
2. Other dishes were kept warm, but the steamed bun and noodle area had both hot and cold options.
3. Beverage area: Milk preparation was average, nothing special. I didn't try the coffee, so I won't comment.
IV. Scenery
1. Spanish villa garden scenery. Unfortunately, it felt too natural, lacking the feel of a gardener's touch.
2. Hotel's large swimming pool: The pool walls were worn and looked abandoned.
V. Visitor Flow
1. Mostly families, friends, and elderly people; quite a lot of people.
2. Every morning you could hear firecrackers waking you up. This must be a characteristic of this area, a way to awaken the soul.
Summary: I stayed for two days and had a pretty good experience. The room on the first day was spacious, but the exhaust fan had a problem. After contacting the hotel, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Hou provided excellent service. They changed my room on the second day, and I was very satisfied with the new room in all aspects; it was very comfortable. It has to be said: Boss, you're relying entirely on manpower to compensate for your inherent weaknesses. Your employees are carrying the entire business for you. With decent foot traffic, you should really upgrade your hardware!
