This business trip involved three people, including two foreign clients. Since it was close to the airport and I'd had good experiences with Huazhu Group hotels in the past, I chose Orange Crystal for the first time. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the worst experience I've ever had with a Huazhu hotel.
We booked three rooms in total. When checking in, I specifically asked the front desk not to arrange connecting rooms next to each other. The front desk staff readily agreed, saying they would only arrange rooms on the same floor. But when we got our key cards and went to our rooms, all three rooms were connecting rooms right next to each other! At the time, the doors to the entire row of rooms were open, and they were all empty. With so many empty rooms, why did the front desk completely ignore my request?
What was even more laughable was the service training. The intern who took us to the elevator enthusiastically told us about the laundry room and gym. We asked if we could take a quick look at the laundry room before going to our rooms, and she actually led us back to the front desk and had to ask other staff for directions. It's understandable that a new intern might not be familiar with everything on their first day, but allowing staff to start work without proper training is a serious dereliction of duty on the part of the hotel management.
But the most unacceptable part was the hygiene details. Although the toilet paper in the room was folded into a service-triangle shape, it was clearly torn haphazardly by the previous guest, leaving an irregular, fuzzy edge. The housekeeper had just folded it right over that mess. It was truly disgusting. Even if they had just torn it neatly along the perforations before folding, it wouldn't have been so perfunctory. This detail directly reveals the extreme carelessness of the housekeeping staff.
For a room rate of over 500 yuan per night, this level of management and service quality is completely undeserving. Extremely disappointing!
