First, upon arrival, we had to navigate through a very small, dark alley. The location was quite remote, and there were no signs at all. We couldn't find our way and called the hotel, but they didn't answer any of our phones. After carrying our heavy suitcases up a very steep flight of stairs, we finally found the front desk. Overall, as a woman, I felt really scared and helpless in an unfamiliar place when I couldn't find my way.
Second, ① When we asked the front desk why they weren't answering our calls, they slowly replied that they couldn't reach us and then started playing on their own phone.
② We found the room's location wasn't great and asked if we could change rooms, but they refused outright.
③ The air conditioning heating system malfunctioned at night, and they still didn't answer our calls. We happened to run into the front desk while we were out, and they came in to fix it for us. They checked with Ctrip's website and said we could call another number. Up to this point, we understood their behavior because they said the phone number we provided on Ctrip was incorrect. ④ The next morning, after showering, we discovered there was no hairdryer. We called another number, but still no answer. Out of desperation, we inquired through Ctrip's backend system. After repeated inquiries, they finally told us where it was, half an hour after we hadn't dried our hair. It's unbelievable that they don't handle customer issues! Their explanations were confusing. When I asked why they didn't add our contact information, at least giving us a way to reach them, they said the phone was out of credit, and only then did they say they hoped to add our contact information.
Finally, we left very angry. Yesterday, the phone number we provided on Ctrip was faulty; today, another phone number was out of credit. The only remedy they did was for the new front desk staff to keep apologizing and buy us milk tea the next day. We were very grateful to her; she did a good job. But why should her colleague bear the consequences of her own actions? We came here solely because of positive reviews praising the 24-hour front desk service, and we left with high expectations, only to be disappointed. Seriously, avoid this place! Their so-called good service just meant having a colleague frantically apologizing and bowing while offering milk tea. They're all working people, it's not easy for them, why can't they be more empathetic? This is the first time I've written a bad review on Ctrip, and I'm really upset to have encountered such a hotel.
