HanTing Hotel (Quanzhou West Street Zhongshan Road)

I extended my stay for another night, and as a HUAZHU member, the staff kindly reminded me that I could enjoy breakfast. Taxis are easily accessible from the hotel, and it's a short walk to Guan Yue Temple.

The hotel's location is great, very close to the Temple of Literature, and not far from Thien Mu Pagoda. The hotel is clean, tidy, and hygienic, and the rooms are spacious. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm here.

Since I was driving with elderly family members, I called ahead to ask about parking. I was told it was in the underground garage across from the hotel and specifically asked if there was a direct elevator to the lobby, receiving an affirmative answer. However, after parking in the old-looking underground garage, there was no direct elevator to the hotel lobby. I called the front desk again and was told to take my luggage myself from the vehicle entrance/exit up to ground level to get to the hotel! Upon arrival, I asked the front desk why they didn't mention this when I called. The two young women at the desk said they had just started their shift and that the previous shift hadn't informed me... They offered some local specialties to appease me, but honestly, it was just a matter of adding one more sentence to their initial explanation. Isn't this a failure in hotel management training? They immediately tried to deflect responsibility. The hotel's only real plus is its good location. The cleanliness was average, and the overall decor isn't very new. I'm not sure if the floor is uneven or the chair legs are, but every time you sit down, there's a loud bang. The soundproofing isn't great. The coffee machine in the lobby often breaks down, requiring a security guard to fix it. The 'Old Noodle King' at the hotel's intersection, however, was quite good and convenient for breakfast.

The location is excellent, making it convenient for getting around, and the service is attentive and friendly. Even though it's in a bustling area, closing the windows at night makes it incredibly quiet, ensuring a good night's sleep. During the day, it's super easy to head out for sightseeing or dining.

The pillows and bed were the most comfortable I've ever slept on, and the service was excellent. It's just a few minutes' walk to the Guanyue Temple and also very close to West Street. The 'Xiaobai' (rickshaws/local taxis) are super convenient – just wave and they stop, and it's only two yuan. They even gave me a souvenir when I checked out! I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm back for a spiritual vow fulfillment.
