My worst hotel experience. Torn quilt coves isn’t the best thing to sleep in but I didn’t mind that much as long as it was clean. When the booking here shows one can check in after 12:00 and then they arrive at 13:20 after a long travel, “go wait elsewhere or with your friend for an hour” is surely the most disapointing and disrespectful thing to hear from the reception. When I ask why, he’d tell me the scanning machien had malfunctioned so they couldn't scan my ID. Then Chinese guys could check in. Thinking the problem was fixed, I ask again, which is when I was told the machine specifically couldn’t scan passport. Later on, they would check me in by typing in my passport details. All this could be right, but it’s none of my fault, so instead apologizing for the disruption, they sure made it look like a plot and they were disrespectful. I would never sign up for such thing. But my time was too limitted to find another place and had to humble myself to stay there.
The place is quite and cheap and for my case very close to my destination which was major selling point for me. But if you don’t like being told to wait in the reception let alone outside and are person of color(probably, but not worth the risk), then go somewhere else.
