Coming to Changsha for a two-night trip, I booked the Wyndham Furongguo and ended up extending my stay by another night on a whim.
First, I was given a room at the end of the hallway on the 18th floor. I'm not particularly superstitious about end rooms; in fact, I sometimes prefer them as they can be larger and brighter.
Shortly after settling in, I noticed construction work going on upstairs. I thought it would only last a brief moment, but when I checked with the front desk, they said it would take a few days. So, I packed up again and moved to the 16th floor. After coming back down, I could still hear noise, so I finally moved to the 11th floor. On the 11th floor, there was still a faint sound of renovation, but it was manageable enough not to bother me. Once inside, I realized it was a connecting room. However, having already moved twice, I really didn't want to bother packing again, nor did I want to keep troubling the hotel staff, so I just stayed put.
That said, the hotel service is quite good. During check-in and both room changes, the staff proactively offered to help with the luggage. Although parking is tight given the prime location, they managed to arrange a decent spot for the car. The room decor gives off that classic, established star-rated hotel vibe, which is quite comfortable. However, I’d recommend upgrading the hair dryers; the one on the 18th floor was much better and brand new. There is a cube-shaped adapter on the bedside table with direct USB ports. After moving to the 11th floor, I asked the hotel for a newer hair dryer and an extension cord, which solved the bedside charging issue.
Breakfast was decent, and the taste was fine too. A Manager Cheng at the restaurant entrance was wonderful. When I asked him about the 5th-floor spa and in-room dining, he immediately added me on WeChat and gave me a detailed response.
The 5th floor offers spa massages and foot reflexology. Although the hotel provides discount coupons, buying a group-buying deal on Dianping is actually a better value. After swimming, I had the nanny take the kids to the 2nd-floor kids' club while I went for a massage—it was convenient and a real time-saver. Aside from the spa, there seems to be a KTV. The upside is the convenient recreation options, but the downside is the mixed crowd.
The indoor pool had few people, the water temperature was just right, and the kids loved it. It’s just a pity that the changing area doesn't have a swimsuit spin dryer. The kids' club doesn't open until 11:30 AM, takes a break in the afternoon, and then stays open until 9:00 PM.
The hotel location is very convenient, situated right in the prime downtown area close to many attractions. Since I booked my extended night directly through the hotel, I chose to stay here even though I could have already left a review on Trip.com.
The reason I'm writing this review so late is that from around 11:00 PM until 1:40 AM, there was intermittent noise coming from upstairs: sounds like a bathroom or closet door banging loudly, along with what sounded like someone stomping their feet, and I could actually feel the vibrations in my room. Because it happened sporadically, I couldn't even record it. The sound of switches clicking was so clear it felt like someone was pressing buttons right inside my room—I actually managed to capture that bit on my phone. The poor soundproofing is truly frustrating.
All in all, the value for money here is quite acceptable. I just hope they can put some effort into resolving the noise issues.
