Orange Hotel (Weihai Railway Station Hanlefang)

Clean and tidy, and very close to Hanlefang, making it super convenient for dining, shopping, and getting around by taxi.

The so-called 'family room' simply meant the bed was upgraded from 1.5m to 1.8m. Everything else – room size, amenities, layout – remained exactly the same, no changes whatsoever. 1. **Cleanliness:** The room was clean. 2. **Facilities & Value:** For the price, the facilities are, at best, just passing grade for a tourist area. One small note: the slippers felt quite slippery on the floor, almost as if there was a layer of oil. This might be a mismatch between the slipper material and the flooring. The management might want to try it out for themselves. 3. **The Big Problem: Breakfast.** 1). The selection was extremely limited. I've never seen a hotel charging 700 RMB per night, with breakfast at 48 RMB per person, offer such a poor breakfast experience. 2). Items started running out around 9 AM. When we arrived, the toast bread was completely gone, and it was never refilled by the time we left. There were no tomatoes either. No chopsticks, no bowls – and it took ages for them to be replenished. While I understand there's a turnover time, by then, the crowd was already thinning out, yet it was still this inefficient. What kind of management is this? The yogurt dispenser was empty, and no one seemed to care. I went to the noodle station, and even the fried eggs were gone, packed up. Breakfast hours are from 7 AM to 10 AM – wasn't it still within operating hours? Haven't they closed yet? How is this managed? Perhaps Orange Hotel should explicitly state in their policy that after 9 AM, breakfast items are limited, first-come, first-served. If you come late, tough luck. You get what you get, take it or leave it, because you've already paid, and they won't hesitate to rip you off. This point absolutely deserves a negative review.

The hotel facilities are excellent, and the staff are very enthusiastic. Five-star rating! The hotel also offers laundry and drying services, which was incredibly thoughtful for our multi-day family trip.

I arrived quite late on my first day, so I chose this place because it's very close to Weihai Station, and Han Le Fang is just across the street. The room was pretty good. The only annoying thing was the smart toilet; it was incredibly loud. I could even hear the toilets flushing in the adjacent rooms in the middle of the night.

The room was spotless, and I especially loved the scent – the orange fragrance was so refreshing and pleasant. I had a great stay this time.

I've stayed at many HUAZHU hotels, and usually, they call ahead to ask about my needs, but this hotel didn't. I arrived at 7 PM and was first given rooms on different floors. Since I was with a child and needed to be close, I asked to switch to rooms on the same floor nearby. They said the rooms weren't ready. The rooms they gave me at 7 PM were end rooms. What's more frustrating is that the rooms they switched me to at 8 PM, also on the same floor, were also end rooms. As you can see from the photos below, the two end rooms were incredibly far apart. I booked both rooms under the same name. Does the hotel really have no planning or pre-arrangement whatsoever? Later, I asked again to switch to rooms closer together. They first agreed to move us to a family room, but then called back to say it was fully booked (though I checked at 11 PM and saw family rooms were still available). So, I could only switch to a room one category lower than my original booking. The hotel's solution was to waive the breakfast fee since my original booking didn't include it. They presented this as compensation for the price difference between the two rooms. It seemed fair on the surface, but it felt like they were really calculating, not focusing on customer satisfaction when issues arise, but rather ensuring the customer doesn't get any 'advantage.' It's the first time I've encountered breakfast being used to compensate for a room price difference. I arrived late already, and then had to deal with all this until 8 PM to finally get a room. I was too tired to argue further, but my stay experience was truly poor. The breakfast selection was also limited and not tasty, with only cucumbers and cherry tomatoes for fruit.

The hotel is located near Hanlefang, with plenty of food options and convenient takeout, as a robot can deliver to your room. It's about a 30-minute drive to Weihai International Beach. The room is quite spacious, and the TV supports screen mirroring. The soundproofing is also good.

As expected from a big brand chain, the room was spotless, and the bedding was changed for every guest. The only minor issue was the showerhead's water pressure, which was a bit low. However, the pillows were incredibly comfortable, almost on par with Atour's bedding quality. Overall, it was a good stay. The orange scent was lovely and pleasant.
