The room was small, which I could overlook, but the equipment was so old-fashioned – the kind where you have to insert a card to open the door. The card itself was unreliable; on the first day, the door was already hard to open, and by the second and third nights, I couldn't open it at all. I had to go downstairs to the front desk (and I was on the 5th floor in China!), which was incredibly frustrating. On top of that, the room wasn't soundproof. I could hear every conversation in the hallway. The elevator also felt like it hadn't been maintained in years; it had a sudden, disconcerting dropping sensation. All in all, it's hard to put into words how bad it was. For a hotel costing nearly 800 (RMB), you'd be hard-pressed to find a worse experience anywhere else. The shower cubicle was so tiny I barely dared move; one wrong arm movement and the door would open, letting water spill out.
