"First, let's talk about parking. This is the cleanest apartment parking lot I've ever seen. Perhaps it's because it shares a parking lot with a mall, so the property management maintains the same standards? The underground parking entrance is only about 10 meters from the MixC World entrance next door, so be mindful of that. Parking is free if you scan a QR code at the front desk.
Next, facilities. The LG floor connects the hotel directly to MixC World. Parking is on B1, the lobby on the 1st floor. There are many clear signs everywhere. I'm not sure if the entire building is exclusively hotel rooms, but it's generally clean and bright. The elevators have air conditioning, and the rooms come with a washing machine and detergent. There's also an induction cooker and other equipment, but you need to ask housekeeping for cooking utensils. I brought my own complete camping setup, so I didn't need to rent any. The fridge is huge, and the bathroom is pretty good; just a little water splashes out, which doesn't really affect the experience. Cokes and small snacks are provided. For takeout, you need to go downstairs yourself. They say the robots aren't used during peak hours, but I saw one robot that was a bit clumsy. It got to my floor, was slightly obstructed, and couldn't get out successfully. Then it pressed the floor button it was supposed to go to again. No wonder the instructions mentioned that during peak elevator hours, you could use the hidden public elevator next to it. Being a curious person, I used the service elevator from the start. It was just as clean as the guest elevators. You need to open a hidden door yourself (which is actually an emergency exit, right next to the stairs).
About MixC World: The mall is a bit confusing, and the space utilization is maximized. Many stores have dead ends, which I mistook for passages. There's Hema (Freshippo). What's with that bakery that has a queue even on weekdays? The dining brands are quite novel. For entertainment, I visited the reptile exhibit. The bookstore is nice, with comics and some IP books and merchandise.
Finally, the service. The front desk staff were all very polite.
The breakfast was noteworthy. You can actually add braised pork yourself! As a carnivore, I added 4 pieces and almost burst. Other items were simplified, not many, but sufficient, pretty much what you'd expect from a 5-star equivalent."
