I had initially booked another hotel for the National Day holiday but found it unsatisfactory, so I switched to this one, expecting at least a five-star experience in all aspects.
**Pros:**
I first booked an Executive Room for the second day of my trip, as the system showed no twin rooms available for the first day. Later, a twin room became available, so I quickly booked it, though it wasn't an Executive Room. Upon arrival, the front desk staff was very accommodating and upgraded me directly to an Executive Room, explaining it would save me the hassle of changing rooms later. On the first day, I went for breakfast around 9 AM and returned to my room at 10 AM to find it already made up. The cleaning lady greeted me with a particularly cheerful demeanor.
The Executive Lounge service was excellent – they were attentive to every request, and the lounge itself was quiet and spotless.
**Cons:**
The most disappointing aspect was the two days of buffet breakfast. On the first day, I arrived a bit late, and the place was chaotic and overcrowded. Despite appearing large, the variety of food was quite limited. The omelet chef was simply churning out fried eggs. When I asked for an omelet, which I consider a standard offering at a five-star hotel, he first said no, then immediately followed with “wait a moment.” I then told him not to bother. The next day, I arrived an hour earlier and saw him making an omelet for someone else who also requested one, and he readily agreed. I looked at the finished product, and it honestly looked terrible. I don't know his reasoning, whether he was judging people or just unwilling to make one for me. Also, when grabbing plates and bowls, I constantly had to pick through them to find clean ones, as many had stains or were dirty. For a hotel of this caliber, having to sift through tableware is unacceptable.
A minor incident, like a single fly, can spoil the whole experience, as the saying goes.
In today's market, especially in the service industry, it's all about service. Such a drop in standards really needs improvement.
