Dazhou Unveils a "Talking Hotel"! Voice-Controlled Rooms for a Relaxing Stay

—A Revolutionary Smart Travel Experience As a frequent business traveler to eastern Sichuan, I’ve stayed at over a dozen hotels in Dazhou, but Junyuan Smart Hotel (Train Station Branch) has completely redefined my travel standards with its philosophy of "smart yet warm, convenient yet personal." Here’s a detailed review across ten key dimensions: 1. Prime Location: The Heart of Transportation Located at No. 19 Baqu West Road, Tongchuan District, the hotel is just 580 meters (a 9-minute walk) from Dazhou Railway Station. Arriving by high-speed train in the morning, I skipped the taxi and strolled along the tree-lined street, spotting the hotel’s sign effortlessly. Surrounded by the bustling Xiwai commercial hub—with Luofu Plaza, Renhe New Town, and other complexes within reach—it’s perfect for business meetings at the lobby café or quick access to supermarkets, pharmacies, and hotpot joints for tourists. 2. Light Luxury Aesthetics: A Healing Spatial Philosophy Stepping inside, the anxiety melted away. The lobby blends light wood and warm gray tones, with ink-textured walls and hidden LED strips creating a soothing ambiance. My 30㎡ Deluxe King Room continued the minimalist luxury theme: eco-friendly art walls, matte metal fixtures, and abstract art. The 180cm extra-wide bed with memory foam pillows and high-thread-count linens felt like sleeping on clouds. The dual-window design bathed the room and bathroom in morning light, leaving even the towels sun-kissed. 3. Whole-Room Smart Control: Future at Your Command "Xiaodu Xiaodu, activate movie mode." With that, the curtains closed, lights dimmed, TV turned on, and ambient lighting set the mood—showcasing the hotel’s standout feature. - **Voice Assistant**: Control lights (reading/sleep/night mode), AC, and curtains, or say "turn off all lights" for instant darkness. - **Contactless Service**: A robot delivered my water with a cheerful "Your items have arrived!" - **Bathroom Tech**: TOTO smart toilet with auto-lid, shower display showing real-time water temperature, and rainfall showerhead. 4. Travel-Ready Amenities: Stress-Free for New Energy Vehicles Parking and charging? Solved. - **Free Parking**: 20+ ground spaces with no time limits. - **EV Chargers**: Fast/slow charging options. A Tesla owner joked, "Charging overnight saved me two hours at a supercharger." 5. Breakfast & Local Eats: Flavors of Bashan ▶ **In-House Breakfast** (7:00-9:00): A compact but authentic Sichuan spread—porridge with Dazhou pickles, noodles, dumplings, and local cold dishes. ▶ **Nearby Gems**: - **3-min walk**: Xu Duck, century-old braised duck with fall-off-the-bone tenderness. - **5-min walk**: Seven Stars Spicy Braised Dishes, perfect with beer for late-night cravings. - **8-min walk**: Old Clay Pot Rice Noodles, simmered in rich bone broth. 6. Unbeatable Value: Luxury at Budget Prices My Deluxe King Room (weekend rate ~¥170+) rivaled ¥1,000-tier hotels: - **Premium Features**: King Koil mattress, TOTO fixtures, smart controls. - **Perks**: Free laundry (2F), bookable meeting room. 7. Service with a Human Touch Tech meets warmth: - **Front Desk Efficiency**: Borrowed an umbrella during a storm and retrieved a lost charger—all in ≤5 minutes. - **Hygiene**: UV-sanitized toilets, hypoallergenic bedding. - **Quiet Comfort**: Soundproof walls and blackout curtains ensured deep sleep. **Final Thoughts**: Redefining Smart Travel Junyuan strikes the perfect balance—"convenience without compromise, tech with heart." Its name, meaning "source," reflects its role as both a journey’s start and a home-away-from-home. **Tips**: - 🚉 **Transport**: From Dazhou Station’s west exit, turn right and walk straight; it’s opposite Huatai Garden Phase II. - 📞 **Booking**: Use Trip.com for early check-in, late checkout, or free upgrades.
