I've stayed at many Junlan hotels, and this one had the worst experience.
Check-in was a bit late, and while I understand the front desk staff were tired after a long day and not very friendly, I asked which floor the laundry room was on. They told me it was closed during the National Day holiday and charged extra on other days. They should clearly state these special rules on the booking page. Secondly, shouldn't the service industry consider the needs of guests? With a family of three's clothes piled up in this heat, was it a mistake for me to choose to travel during the holiday?
Upon entering the room, the bathroom and shower floor tiles were clearly broken. I called room service to come and check, and the lady there casually replied: "It's okay, it doesn't affect use, as long as you can shower." I'm speechless. I booked a five-star hotel for a comfortable trip, and now I have to deal with facilities problems? Finally, I insisted on changing rooms. I clearly heard the cleaning lady say "room XXXX" on the walkie-talkie, but she wouldn't bring it, saying the front desk would contact me immediately. After waiting 15 minutes without anyone contacting me, I had to contact the front desk myself, then wait for the robot to deliver the key card. It took a full 30 minutes to finally check in. Even though there was hair on the bed, she was unhappy about the hassle. I've encountered similar facility issues at other hotels before, and the solutions were either a room upgrade or complimentary breakfast. This hotel simply has no service awareness whatsoever.
The next day, I stayed at the Junlan Hotel in Jinhua, Zhejiang. They added me on WeChat a day in advance, and responded to any questions within 3 minutes. Knowing we were checking in at night, they even reserved a satisfactory room for us in advance based on our needs. When the front desk saw we were a family of three, they immediately offered to provide breakfast for two days. It truly proves the saying "no comparison, no harm."
Why should customers accept price increases during holidays, and accept reduced service and poor cleaning?
