This was my first time visiting, and I encountered several issues.
First, despite the high price, the hotel offered poor value for money due to its inconvenience. For skiing, among the 4-star hotels in Thaiwoo, AB is the most inconvenient, especially if you're staying in Tower A, as the lobby and breakfast area are in Tower B. What's more, AB doesn't have its own ski locker room, unlike Nanshanli and Pasten. Instead, guests use Nanshanli's ski locker room, which requires going down to the underground parking garage and walking quite a distance. Hauling skis and gear with kids in a busy underground garage is not only exhausting but also unsafe. Given this inconvenience, the price for a ski-in/ski-out reservation for the same room type is even higher than Pasten next door, making it extremely poor value.
Second, the signage and directions are unclear, leaving first-time visitors disoriented. The ski locker room at Nanshanli is directly accessible by elevator from Tower D, but not from Tower C. However, after the signs point towards the CD towers, there's no further indication of which way to go for the ski locker room – C or D. As a ski hotel, there should be clear instructions and information about the gondola locations and their operating status relative to the hotel. Instead, guests are left to figure everything out on their own. On my first visit, I skied to Gondola 4, only to find it closed. I had to carry my skis and walk back to the Nanshanli ski locker room in ski boots to return my gear. I later found out there's a shuttle service between hotels, but this was never mentioned during check-in.
Third, the service is lacking, and the room temperature is low. For a 4-star hotel, the front desk was unreachable after 10 PM. Although the hotel claimed to have floor heating, I didn't feel any warmth from the floor, and the room temperature was not high, getting particularly cold in the mornings.
In summary, this hotel gives off an 'I don't care if you come or not, I'll just take your money and you can figure everything else out' vibe. I really can't bring myself to like it.
