Sovereign Hotel Zhanjiang

Extremely dissatisfied. The drainage in the room was clogged, and the toilet didn't flush properly – it was disgusting. I can't believe this place is ranked fifth. When I checked in, there was a company annual meeting, and I could hear loud, rowdy noises from the lobby. The smell of alcohol was also quite unpleasant...

This hotel has three outstanding features. Firstly, the service is exceptional. The hotel offers shuttle service to and from the train station. When I contacted them upon arrival at the station, their car wasn't available, so they reimbursed my taxi fare, which was a pleasant surprise. When I was leaving, the concierge thoughtfully advised me to wait indoors to avoid the strong wind outside – a very warm gesture. The front desk service was also excellent. Secondly, the indoor pool is fantastic, with great facilities and perfect water temperature. Thirdly, the breakfast spread is incredibly generous. However, there's one small drawback: the carpet in the room is quite old, which slightly detracted from an otherwise perfect stay.
