MAQO Hotels in Changsha

After returning from Zhangjiajie, I continued my stay at the Mako Hotel. Its location is super convenient, right by Wuyi Square in Changsha, and the room was comfortable and clean. The only real letdown was the breakfast. The buffet selection in the open dining area wasn't very extensive, although they do offer an à la carte menu. We stayed for four days in total. Only on the first day did a server inform us about the à la carte option. For the rest of our stay, no one mentioned it, and other guests around us didn't seem to order anything either, probably assuming it was an extra charge. We ordered two cheese rolls, and the server surprisingly told us it would take 20-30 minutes to prepare one! What kind of restaurant takes that long for a simple item? It was clearly a tactic to discourage guests from ordering à la carte. After we'd ordered a few other items, the server casually took the menu away, clearly signaling we couldn't order anything else. By the time we left, our order wasn't even complete. We were too bothered to complain further, so we just left. Honestly, if you're so concerned about guests eating too much, then don't even offer this à la carte option in the first place. Furthermore, just before breakfast service ended, two people who looked like hotel management were openly taking food from the buffet and eating it themselves in the dining area. I've truly never seen anything like that. If you're concerned about food waste, at least wait until all the guests have left before you start eating! Aside from the breakfast experience, everything else was actually quite good.
