We arrived at the hotel a little after 1 AM. It opened in 2014, and you could immediately feel its age upon entering the lobby. However, its biggest advantage is its proximity to the train station – just a 100-meter turn to the left. Arriving in the early hours, we dropped off our luggage and grabbed a shared e-bike right outside. We were at Xiguan Night Market in literally 2 minutes – super convenient! We booked a room without breakfast and tried to see if we could get an upgrade to include it. The front desk staff firmly but politely said no, but they did upgrade our room type, which was a small consolation amidst the slight disappointment.
We had an 8 AM train the next day, so we were really just looking for a transitional stay. I must praise the bathroom in our room; it was clearly recently renovated. Although the restroom on the ground floor lobby had a strong odor, our room's bathroom was perfectly fine. The shower had great water pressure, and a hot shower was incredibly refreshing, instantly washing away the day's fatigue. I wasn't initially planning to write a review, but the hotel called me to ask if I was satisfied and if I'd be willing to write an honest review if I was.
I have to say, if they had upgraded us to include two breakfasts, my experience would have been absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, they didn't have the authority. I think sometimes fulfilling small requests can really boost goodwill with guests, but they were just sticking to the rules, so I can only give an objective review.
