My overall impression of this Holiday Inn Express stay can be summed up as 'just right comfort.' As a mid-range hotel under the InterContinental Hotels Group, it perfectly balances quality and value for money, making it especially suitable for business travelers and families.
Smooth and Efficient Check-in Experience
The front desk staff were professional and friendly, proactively offering a welcome drink for members. From check-in to receiving my room card, the entire process took no more than five minutes.
Guest Room: Attention to Detail
I stayed in a King Superior Room, approximately 30 square meters, with a well-thought-out layout:
· Excellent bedding quality, with a mattress that was neither too soft nor too hard, providing an excellent sleep experience.
· The workspace was equipped with an ergonomic office chair and a multi-port charging station.
· The mini-fridge provided cold water.
· The bathroom featured a wet/dry separation, ample water pressure, and instant hot water.
· Good soundproofing; I could barely hear any noise from the hallway or adjacent rooms.
Dining and Facilities
The breakfast selection was rich, with a good balance of Chinese and Western options. The freshly made noodles and the local specialty, 'Hulatang' (spicy soup), were particularly impressive (breakfast starts at 6:30 AM).
Excellent Location
The hotel is located near Zhengzhou East Station:
· A 10-minute walk to the high-speed rail station.
Areas for Improvement
While the overall experience was good, there's still room for improvement:
1. The in-room Wi-Fi speed was a bit slow during peak hours.
2. There are no shopping facilities nearby, making it inconvenient for shopping.
