Honestly, I rarely write reviews these days, but my experience at Junlan this time definitely warrants an objective one.
Pros: The hotel is new, so the facilities are naturally excellent. We booked a duplex suite, perfect for a multi-generational trip, and the space was generous. Having a hot tub on both the upper and lower floors was a delightful surprise. The shower water pressure was good, and smart toilets were installed. The hotel's location, nestled by mountains and water, offers a small stream where you can wade (but be mindful of safety). The outdoor pool, accessible through the hot spring area, isn't huge, but the bubble show kept the kids entertained, and there were floaties available for rent. The hot spring staff were all very enthusiastic, and my child had a blast all afternoon. Furthermore, I found the food at Taoyuan Bistro quite delicious, with standard hotel pricing and good portion sizes, despite the lower ratings on Dianping.
Cons: In terms of facilities, there were no children's bathrobes. The toilet flush was quite loud, clearly audible on both floors. The air conditioning was noisy; even on the lowest fan speed, it was quite strong, and the auto-fan never seemed to reach the set temperature and turn off, which was a bit annoying. Especially at night, it was a dilemma whether to keep it on or off, and it successfully gave me a cold. Regarding service, both the front desk and butler service were disappointing. We were told check-in was at 2 PM, but after asking three times, it was delayed until 2:45 PM, with the explanation that the cleaning information hadn't been updated in the system. My 70-year-old parents had to wait with us throughout this. The butler's service was merely a symbolic pre-check-in call to ask about our needs, informing us that the hot springs and children's play area cost money, but then eventually saying hot spring tickets could be gifted (what was the point? To show the hotel's generosity?). After adding WeChat, if you didn't ask, no service information was provided, making me question the purpose of having a butler at all. At check-out, I noticed other guests checking out at the same time were given complimentary bread, but we were just told we could leave. Only when I inquired about the bread did they say they'd forgotten. In short, there was no good start and no good end. I'm glad we only booked one night.
In conclusion, a hotel can't make money just by being new; without good service, you won't get repeat customers.
