After checking out from Quanzhou, we checked into this hotel in Shishi. The price was great, and the room was a spacious 80+ square meters. We booked a family suite, which was perfect for taking care of our elders while still having our own space. The room was almost like a one-bedroom apartment with a living room and two bathrooms. The living room had a separate toilet (no shower) and a large bed with a sofa set. The master bedroom's bathroom had a shower, so having two bathrooms was really convenient. The only downside was the air conditioning; the old dial looked concerning, and sure enough, it barely cooled the room after running for a while. We called the hotel and requested two electric fans, and the staff responded very quickly. They even brought us a complimentary white fungus soup in the evening, which our elders really enjoyed.
Speaking of service: when I was checking in, I happened to see the staff at the next counter practicing guest check-in and check-out procedures, which was quite interesting. It showed they put a lot of effort into training, and the atmosphere among the employees was also very good – thumbs up.
Overall, the service was excellent, but the hotel's overall facilities are a bit old and a significant drawback. However, the price was reasonable, offering good value for money. Oh, and they also had afternoon tea in the lobby (mainly some fruits, soda, instant noodles, and pre-packaged pastries, good enough to tide you over). The automatic coffee machine was quite basic, only offering Americanos. It would have been great to have lattes.
Here are some areas for improvement: 1. The air conditioning is old, and the cooling effect isn't great. The AC in the living room seemed to cool better than the bedroom; it felt cooler in the living room when we returned at night. The floor fan they provided was noisy; I'd suggest gradually replacing them with quieter models. It's either hot or noisy, which is especially noticeable at night. 2. The shower room always had a faint smell of urine, and the ceramic toilet seat was heavy and didn't close slowly, so it would bang down if you weren't careful. 3. Rooms facing the road were noisy. Starting at around 2 AM, we heard vehicles passing by and honking – oh my goodness! At 2:40 AM, I was even woken up by a car alarm downstairs, which went off intermittently four times, each lasting about 10 seconds, completely waking me up. Breakfast was just average. I had originally booked for two days but left after one night because it was too stuffy. The early check-out process was handled very smoothly, so I was still very satisfied with the service.
