Jinjiang Haiyue Hotel

Location & Accessibility: Most reviews emphasized proximity to metro stations , shopping areas, and public transport.(based on 89 reviews)

Upon check in, I was given a windowless room (hotel description was for "city view" with no menton of windowless rooms), and, when asked to be moved to a window room, the hotel demanded that such a room would cost 3x more per night (¥588 scribbled on a piece of paper by the younger of the 2 receptionists - a typical bait-and-switch scheme at unscrupulous outfits). After a tiring couple of hours at the lobby trying to resolve this matter in hot and humid weather, I decided to stay put in the windowless room. Newly looking for another hotel room elsewhere portended even more hassles and delays after the older receptionist suddenly claimed there no longer were any more rooms available. Worst - completely unable have mobile connection or use internet inside room. Terrible - wanton 'open room door policy' with loud shoutings and conversations between and among occupants in different rooms across the floor, kids screaming and running around and banging on my door to 11 p.m. and starting from 6 a.m. (throughout nearly week-long stay). When you politely complain, people don't listen or respond. Minimal staff with only one 1 or 2 at the front desk (often none even visible) and zero room cleaning (junk stuff on room floor upon check in and throughout stay). The usual daily room settings do get done (water bottles, new towels, toothbrushes, emptied trash bin). No security or other personnel. 2nd floor restaurant is in half asleep mode in p.m. with lights on but no visible staffing. Good - Excellent working air conditioner, hot water shower, Lawson's in lobby selling ice cold beverages, and convenient location. Even at this low price range, this is among the worst hotel room, service and business practice I have encountered in China (hotel never gave apologies). With this candid review, I hope the hotel management would see an opportunity to improve and see to preserving integrity of the good Jinjiang brand name.
