I'd heard about this hotel for a long time and finally had the chance to stay, but I was sorely disappointed. First, the doorman, who seemed to serve only as a greeter. We had to carry our own luggage from the car when checking in and out. Even when we checked out and asked the doorman for a hand, he remained indifferent.
For dinner, we ate at the hotel restaurant. The hand towels were cold, the food was unappetizing, and the cold appetizers were only served after two hot dishes had already arrived. The 'oiled chicken' looked like it had been violently broken into pieces and drowned in sauce, full of tiny bones. The rice and vegetables were also drenched in oil, as if the sauce hadn't been properly reduced before serving. The restaurant staff seemed new; when I asked if a dish was sweet, two different servers couldn't answer. Water was only refilled once. The food was so salty, but I was hesitant to drink more water because no one was refilling it, fearing I'd die of thirst. When fruit was brought out, it was as if they wanted us to practice our manual dexterity – no utensils were provided, we were meant to eat with our hands. After finally picking up a piece, I realized the problem: they then brought three massive forks that could spear a watermelon, making eating by hand almost preferable.
I originally came for the hotel's ambiance, but even that was ugly. The 'performance' was even worse. The room's windows looked like they hadn't been cleaned in ages; the view outside was almost frosted. All the surfaces were also 'frosted' with dust, making me wonder how long this room had been vacant. The bathtub was dusty, and there was a rug in front of it that was useless and obstructive. When I stepped on it, my foot sank into holes, and it also blocked me from opening the bathroom and shower doors. The walls were moldy, so I wasn't even surprised to see spiders. I felt like this room rightfully belonged to the spiders, and I was rudely intruding on their territory. I finally fell asleep on a pilling bedsheet, praying that spiders wouldn't drop onto my face in the middle of the night.
However, the service attitude of the other staff members was very good; it was just their professionalism that was severely lacking. And although every room had a dehumidifier, as soon as you entered the lobby, even before stepping onto the ground, you could feel the heavy humidity.
