Homeinn Selected Hotel (Datong Weidu Avenue Gucheng Beimen)

The room was clean, tidy, and spacious, with a great big bed and a lovely coffee table. The shower water temperature was just right, and I appreciated the separate wet and dry areas. The smart toilet was a nice touch, with a warm seat. Breakfast offered a wide variety of choices, the fruit was fresh, and the service was very welcoming.

There were hairs on the floor and even on the bedsheets. They had to change the sheets for me. There was also foundation residue on the counter. The shower water wasn't hot, and there were hairs left unclean in the shower area. I stayed for two nights, and on the second night, they didn't even provide clean slippers. Overall, the experience wasn't great. There was a layer of dust on the table as well.

Traveling to Datong before the Spring Festival to avoid the crowds was a smart choice. The hotel's location is good, and parking is super convenient. When in Datong, there's no need to insist on staying inside the ancient city walls; it can get incredibly congested when it's busy. The hotel facilities are relatively new, and the TV signal is excellent, so watching the Spring Festival Gala was no problem. There was plenty of hot water, whether for showering or drinking. Breakfast is shared with the hotel next door, so the selection of dishes is rich. The only downside is that it gets genuinely crowded when there are a lot of people. (꒪ȏ꒪;) Overall, I'm very satisfied!

First, when I arrived at the room the intern had booked for me that evening, I was given the first room available, which was fine. However, the room had a strange smell, there were four or five small flying insects in the bathroom, and there was someone else's hair on the bathroom floor. The sheets had been changed, but there was still someone else's hair under them. The next morning at 6:00 AM, there was loud construction noise starting on the third floor. I was on the fifth floor, and the noise was extremely loud. I called the front desk, and they said no one was staying nearby and there was no noise. I asked them to come over and listen, and they said there was no noise. Then they mentioned noise from the kitchen. I asked them to lower the noise level, but the noise persisted. I called the front desk again, and they said there was construction next door. I said, "Can't you do some normal construction? Why are you doing it at 6:00 AM?" The front desk said they couldn't do anything about it. I was speechless. I wasn't staying in a 70-yuan room. I've stayed at other Home Inns and other business hotels and never seen anything like this. Datong is a tourist city; they can handle simple things properly. Why do they have to make customers give you bad reviews? Are they deliberately putting me on a floor above construction sites so I can hear loud construction noise in the morning just to get a bad review? I asked the front desk to talk to them, and they just kept apologizing. Couldn't they have taken the time to go up and talk to them? In the end, they said they couldn't stop it and there was nothing they could do. I'm really speechless. If you said there was renovation work going on in the morning, I wouldn't have stayed there!
