This hotel really elevated my impression of Wuhan. First off, the service made me feel professional and respected. Before we arrived, my child got some scrapes, and I was a bit worried because I couldn't find any pharmacies nearby on the delivery app. However, when I explained I needed iodine and band-aids, the staff, without any unnecessary fuss, quickly delivered them directly to our room. I hope they continue to maintain such reassuring medical facility provisions.
Secondly, the hotel's decor is incredibly grand and inviting. There's a European-style courtyard on the second floor, which I didn't visit so I don't have photos. But the Chinese-style courtyard in the ground-floor restaurant had a very serene atmosphere, and I even fed the goldfish there. As for the stay experience, the central air conditioning actually worked! Unlike other hotels where setting it to 26°C only gets you 22°C (which often leads to me catching a cold 😷), the air conditioning at this Holiday Inn genuinely reaches 26°C when set, making it very comfortable. I stayed in room 2093, and thanks to excellent soundproofing and great blackout curtains, I managed to get a rare full night's sleep.
Finally, a quick review of the restaurants. There are three on the ground floor, but I only visited one. I'm not sure if Hubei cuisine is generally salty, but I found both my dinner and breakfast to be a bit too salty. I even specifically asked for less salt on my braised Wuchang fish, but it was still extremely salty... Also, the fruit platter was quite disappointing, with only a tiny bit of cantaloupe and cucumber, a mediocre orange, and a single mandarin orange. For the price, it felt a bit perfunctory. I hope they can improve this.
