We had a wonderful stay at the ChaoQi Hotel. After a smooth check-in, a convenient cart picked us up and brought us directly to our room door. The location is incredible, situated inside the Chikan resort where you can find numerous restaurants, shops, and attractions. A great perk was that our stay included entry tickets, giving us the chance to enjoy many of the resort's lively shows. Our room was super comfortable, impeccably clean, and very family-friendly. Our kids especially loved the indoor playground on the ground floor. The buffet breakfast offered a fantastic variety of options, featuring multiple live stations with both Asian and Western choices. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again if I return to the Kaiping area.

1. Queuing at the hotel check-in counter. At the window near the boarding point, the customer ahead of me had a problem with their booking. Should the issue be escalated to a supervisor so other customers can be processed first? Instead, the staff member just stood there, ignoring the dozen or so customers behind them. There was no explanation (informing them the queue was blocked) and no prompt assistance to resolve the issue. Between 10 and 11 AM, the hotel was packed with check-in guests, yet only three windows were open? After waiting for over twenty minutes with no progress, I had to join another queue. The hotel requires facial recognition for check-in; could this be announced or mentioned at the entrance? A large family sent a representative, only to find out about the facial recognition requirement halfway through the process, requiring them to call someone over, significantly impacting efficiency. 2. Time saved on the journey was wasted on check-in. After arriving at the theater hotel by electric cart, I learned that currently, I could only store my luggage and get a performance reservation code; I wouldn't get my room key until 3 PM. During the Spring Festival, indoor performances could only be booked once a day (one of four options). I already knew this from the WeChat official account beforehand. Before my trip, I read in a travel guide that the hotel front desk could print an extra copy, but when I asked, they coldly said there was only one show per day. Later, I heard that the Jinxu Hotel front desk printed an extra copy for guests checking in at the same time. Is the hotel discriminating against guests and treating them differently based on their status? 3. The soundproofing in the balcony room was mediocre. There was no non-slip mat or shower slippers in the shower room. The queue for the fire show at the scenic area also poses a safety hazard; I hope the management will pay attention to this.

The hotel is located right within the scenic area, and there's a shuttle bus that takes you directly to the entrance, which is super convenient! I was pleasantly surprised to find a rice noodle shop directly opposite the hotel; it was incredibly delicious. To find food of this quality inside a scenic area is truly impressive!!

This hotel, converted from a Diaolou (fortified multi-storey tower house), is very clean and has a great layout! More importantly, the service is excellent. It happened to be raining when we were going out, and the shuttle bus always arrived instantly when called! Xiao Xia at the front desk was also incredibly helpful, enthusiastically assisting us with our itinerary. Superb! The performances at this scenic area are also fantastic, very positive and inspiring. Shows are scheduled from morning till night, and every performer is dedicated!
