JI Hotel (Jinan CBD Huarun Zhide Guangchang)

The overall decor is the same as the All Seasons Hotel I stayed at in Qufu. It's clean, just how I like it. The view from the window is great, the staff are friendly, and the breakfast is good. It's very close to the Shandong Museum. If I travel again, All Seasons will be my first choice.

The parking lot's license plate number wouldn't register, so we were stuck at the entrance for ages. We kept going back and forth trying to get in, but it didn't work. It was so frustrating. Our room included three breakfasts, and the front desk asked if we wanted breakfast coupons. It was a terrible experience. "Whether I wanted them or not was our decision, and whether you gave them to me was your decision." We only requested a room farther from the elevator, but surprisingly, it faced the elevator. It was a terrible experience. *****

We arrived at around 1pm that day. The hotel was difficult to find. The parking lot is underground, but you need to report your license plate number in advance before you can enter. I was not sure about this the first time I went there. I called the hotel. The reserved number on the map was not the front desk. The caller said to notify the front desk to record the license plate. I waited about three minutes and the front desk called back to say that it had been recorded. When the car entered the parking lot, the screen showed 22 days remaining. I checked in normally. I went out to play in the afternoon and came back to the hotel around 9pm. I couldn't get in again. I called the front desk but no one answered. I called the reserved number on the map, but I don't know who at the hotel called, but they said every time I went out You need to record your license plate again when you come in (no one informed me of this during the check-in process). I notified the front desk to record the license plate, and waited for about 5 minutes but no one contacted me. I called the front desk again and they told me that the parking space was full, and asked me to find a place to park on the roadside. The All Seasons told me to find a place to park myself, which is funny. Apart from the parking space, the rest of the All Seasons is a standard All Seasons. I know that my wife's room smelled a bit of smoke when she entered. She said that the sewer also smelled a bit at night. I haven't experienced it myself, so I dare not say anything. The room I stayed in did not have any peculiar smell. You can feel it for yourself. I really don't recommend it to those who drive.

The room was very satisfactory, the service was also very good, the hotel breakfast was good, and the bed was very comfortable.
