I checked in on the 29th and had booked a twin room. Upon arrival, they told us they'd upgraded us to a 'better' tea-art room, which just meant it had an extra tea table. I didn't see how it was an improvement. The room wasn't big, and the two beds were very close together. For a hotel positioned as 5-star in Ganzhou, I personally don't think it lives up to that. They saw we had a child but didn't offer an extra set of toiletries.
The next day, because the room only came with two breakfast vouchers, they said children over 120cm would be charged 45 yuan. My daughter is 128cm. I asked the staff if there could be some flexibility, as such a slender girl wouldn't eat much for breakfast. The staff member coldly refused. I didn't say anything else and paid the 45 yuan, thinking a 5-star buffet breakfast should be worth the price. I was greatly disappointed; my daughter barely ate anything in the end.
I've stayed in many hotels in first-tier cities before, and whenever I've brought a child, they've always proactively offered a complimentary breakfast and asked if I needed children's toiletries. On the 30th, I booked another hotel in Ganzhou, an executive king room, which also only included two breakfasts. When I checked in, the front desk proactively upgraded my room and offered a complimentary children's breakfast. As soon as I got to the room, they delivered children's slippers, toiletries, an extra children's buckwheat pillow, and a small quilt. The room rate was only 20 yuan more.
Later, a hotel staff member contacted me, and I honestly relayed my unpleasant experience. They then said they would consult with their leadership and offered me some local specialties and a gift, which I declined. I knew what their intention was. As a consumer, no one is really bothered by 45 yuan for their child, but it's hard to understand such an inhumane management approach from a 5-star hotel, let alone expect guests to feel at home. If I remember correctly, this hotel advertises itself as a 'red culture' themed hotel.
