Hetai XiYue Hotel (Juguo Ancient City)

"First, let's talk about the positives. From booking to check-out, the receptionist was incredibly helpful and attentive 👍. Secondly, the hotel's location is probably the best in the old town; the balcony overlooks the river and offers views of the square stage, and it's very quiet at night. Now, let's move on to the positives. We booked two suites. The one we stayed in was a wedding suite (one room for the bride and one for the parents, not mentioned in the booking information), which might be a bit disappointing if you don't like it. I understand the hotel might want to save costs by having fixed decorations for the wedding suite, but it was clearly poorly maintained. There were various signs of pasting, and the area above the bed was covered in roughly taped decorations, with a row of hooks pointing towards the head and dangling plastic strips. It was very uncomfortable. Secondly, it's one thing for a suite not to have a mini-bar, but one room didn't have slippers (although they were replaced), another didn't have hand towels, floor mats, or tea bags, and both rooms had only the bottom of the hand soap bottles—couldn't they even replenish them? They can't even properly check rooms? What's most unacceptable is the extremely poor hygiene of the bathroom. There was hair and spiders in the shower, the water flow in the sink was very weak, and there was only one set of fire-fighting equipment? Is this the kind of condition a hotel should have? There are pictures to prove all of the above. Also, don't expect the hotel shuttle bus during holidays, as they say it's too crowded and the bus can't go. You have to carry your luggage yourself. I didn't have breakfast, so I don't know what the quality of the breakfast was and won't comment on it."

"The room was not clean, and the air conditioner was also malfunctioning."

Magnotel Hotel (Rizhao Ju County Rizhaoxi Road)

"Room is small. The front desk staff seemed unhappy. The soundproofing is terrible; you can hear everything happening in the next room."
