It's been three days since I left Urumqi and this hotel, and I still feel compelled to share my honest experience. On the positive side, the hotel is about a 1km walk from the Grand Bazaar, which is quite close. They also have parking available, and the front desk staff, several young women, were all smiles and very enthusiastic. The negatives are quite frustrating; it seems the hotel owner doesn't bother checking online reviews. Issues previously mentioned in bad reviews, like the smoky smell in the bathroom and broken elevator buttons, are still present. Even the revolving door at the main entrance wasn't working properly. The most outrageous part was the airport transfer service. I confirmed before booking that they offered it for 100 yuan, and I repeatedly emphasized that we needed to leave promptly at 8 AM. I went down to the front desk 10 minutes early, and the young woman there was asleep and had no idea about the transfer. After making a call, they found out the manager was supposed to take us. When the manager arrived, he couldn't find the car keys. After asking around, he was told someone else had taken them. We were in a panic! The four of us quickly hailed a taxi on the street, thankfully there were plenty around. The Uyghur taxi driver was super efficient, quickly fitting two 24-inch and one 22-inch suitcase into his surprisingly small trunk. He knew the roads well and drove skillfully. The metered fare was 50 yuan, and I gave him an extra 10. Luckily, we didn't miss our flight. The whole hotel experience was just speechless.
