This hotel is honestly the most frustrating one I've encountered on my travels so far. I usually book 4-star hotels, and I visit Beijing almost once a month. I used to book Hampton Inn more often, but now that my child is a bit older, I've started looking for family-friendly options. This time, I chose this hotel specifically for its 'Bay' (presumed kid's club/activity area). Let me describe this frustrating experience.
We arrived at the hotel around 3 PM, driving directly into the underground parking (the hotel signage indicated EV charging stations, but there weren't any in reality). When we went upstairs to check in, the front desk apologized, saying they were doing electrical repairs next door and couldn't process check-ins at the moment. They told us to go out and come back in an hour. I was speechless but didn't say much (I understood special circumstances). I then mentioned we'd go get our car since we didn't see any charging stations downstairs. The front desk then claimed there was no charging in the basement and that the elevators were all out, suggesting we take the subway to go out. I told them I drove here, why would I take the subway? So I went back down, and surprisingly, the elevators were working. (Speechless again).
We ended up just going to 'Bay' and returned in the evening to check in. When we finally got into the room, I was utterly stunned (please see my pictures). It was dirty in various ways, and several things weren't working. The unusable showerhead was the last straw, so I contacted the front desk to request a room change. However, a repairman and housekeeping staff came up instead. They immediately started explaining that the stains were left by previous guests, etc. I'm not one to be difficult... but it was too late to drag my child around. So, I just went to sleep without showering. I had booked for two nights but ended up canceling the second night. This hotel is worse than a roadside motel.
Oh, and the soundproofing is terrible. The parking lot design is also incredibly illogical; you have to do a three-point turn just to navigate a corner. You can't make a turn in one go. Don't believe me? Go try it yourself. Also, there are charging stations on the ground level, but when I tried to charge, it showed 'offline.' Everything about this place is just bad. I hope everyone avoids this hotel.
