First off, the front desk service during check-in was really perfunctory. I arrived at the hotel at 1 PM, and the front desk told me the room wasn't ready, the earliest would be around 1:30 PM. I said 'okay' because we had our child with us, had just gotten off the high-speed train, and it was pouring rain outside. The hotel lobby was already packed with guests checking in, with nowhere to sit and wait. I asked if they could text or call me when the room was ready. The front desk said, 'You'll just have to come to the front desk and ask if the room is ready!' We finally checked in at 2 PM. We put our luggage in the room, and since the rain had stopped, we took a taxi to explore. By the time we returned, it was dark, and that's when we realized how truly rundown and dirty this room was. Firstly, there wasn't a large mirror over the sink, only two small wall-mounted makeup mirrors, and they didn't even have lights. There was a mirror on the wall opposite the bathtub, but it was useless; I can't do my makeup while sitting in the bathtub! The shower area was also very old and dilapidated. The entire room was incredibly dim at night. I turned on all the desk lamps and floor lamps in the room, and it was still very dark. Maybe the hotel doesn't dare to make it too bright, because if it were, you'd see how dirty everything is. The air conditioner blew directly at the head of the bed; I don't know who designed that. It was an old-fashioned rotary knob, and even set to 25 degrees on the lowest setting, it still blew directly, making it very uncomfortable. The next day, my child woke up with a bit of a cold. Going down for breakfast, there was no one to seat us, so we had to find our own table. The hotel breakfast selection was pitifully small and tasted bad, and the fruit wasn't fresh. In short, the experience was really awful. I advise everyone to look at the real reviews. I rarely give hotels bad reviews, but this time, it's absolutely necessary. I've never stayed in such a terrible hotel in Beijing!
