The room was great, and the facilities were excellent too. I had to catch a flight at 3 AM, and due to a payment issue, I couldn't book a taxi. A young lady at the front desk, working the night shift, kindly helped me communicate with a driver waiting outside. He drove me to the airport, and I'm incredibly grateful for her service. She's a truly kind person.
For some reason, my flight didn't take off. I kept trying to call the hotel's front desk, but couldn't get through. Around 7 AM, I asked Trip.com if they could contact the hotel to see if I could extend my stay in the same room and check in early. I was willing to pay extra. When I got back to the hotel, I spoke to an older woman at the front desk, who had just started her shift. She said I had to book first before she could tell me if early check-in was possible. I explained that if early check-in was an option, I would book another night. She refused, and it became a frustrating loop where I couldn't book a room. Trip.com customer service was very proactive in trying to contact the hotel for me, but they only got through once in three hours. I mentioned that there was always someone at the front desk, so I still don't understand why the calls weren't going through. Big thanks to Trip.com.
In the end, I went to another hotel nearby. The front desk staff there were incredibly nice and allowed me to check in early. They also told me that the woman at the other hotel's front desk, who said I had to book first to check on early check-in, was completely out of line.
