1. **Facilities**
(1) The facilities are quite good, fitting for a four-star hotel. The toiletries provided are of good quality.
(2) The hotel is located above a department store, and the building's exterior has a 90s feel, giving it a very 'old money' vibe. I used to imagine what it was like inside when I was a child. Even though my home is in the old city, I've stayed here more than once. It's about indulging in a bit of nostalgia.
(3) The transportation is convenient, and the top floor features a revolving restaurant, which is excellent.
2. **Service**
(1) The front desk and other service staff are all very friendly and proactively consider the guests' needs. Especially Real, the front desk manager, who even provided me with a local food guide and upgraded my room.
(2) The biggest endorsement is that I keep coming back, and I will definitely return in the future.
3. **Anecdote**
(1) The Novotel used to be the Guiyang Baicheng Hotel (1997-2006). When I was a child, the hotel featured in the children's film 'Raise Your Smiling Face' (a 2000 film) that Guiyang City produced for cultural tourism promotion was shot right here. Coincidentally, the room Real, the front desk manager, upgraded me to was the same type as in the movie. I was so happy at the time. I told Real I would send screenshots from the movie for my review after I finished my work, and that I would write a very thoughtful review. Real was a bit embarrassed, saying it was too much trouble for me. Actually, I had been trying to find this room type on previous stays, and unexpectedly, my wish was fulfilled by chance. I absolutely had to write this review with all my heart. I just finished a business trip out of the province and immediately thought of writing this.
(2) I took photos and videos from various angles in the hotel, offering views of Dade Primary School and the old city. The 180° panoramic view is fantastic.
