I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn for a conference in Bao'an, Shenzhen. First of all, the hotel's location is fantastic. The only minor confusion is that it's easy to mix up the Hilton Garden Inn with the main Hilton hotel. However, during the exhibition period, the Hilton Garden Inn still cost nearly 800 RMB.
I have to say that this price falls far short of the service provided. While the location is great, the facilities are decent, and the rooms are neat and clean.
However, the staff's service left much to be desired, especially the two at the front desk. When I was checking out, I first walked toward the male staff member with thinning hair. Even as I approached him with my rolling suitcase until I was just two meters away, he didn't look up at all and showed no intention of attending to me. So, I turned to the female staff member next to him. Both of them were frantically typing on their computers. As I walked up to her, she extended one hand and told me to hand over my room card. After I handed it over, there was zero eye contact throughout the entire process—she didn't even lift her eyes to look at me. There was no conversation whatsoever either.
I have no idea what kind of training makes the hotel staff so arrogant and hostile, or why they would treat arriving guests this way. How does this kind of service match the Hilton brand? Even if guests are staying at a Hilton Garden Inn rather than the flagship hotel, do they deserve to be treated with such rudeness, indifference, and coldness?
