Indigo Hotels in Jiuzhaigou

The resort complex housing the hotel boasts independent coffee shops, a KFC, Cha Bai Dao, what is reportedly the country's third Hard Rock Cafe, an upcoming Starbucks, and a sizable museum dedicated to ******* culture. It's quite pleasant for a leisurely stroll. The hotel rooms are quite spacious, and the two king-sized beds (1.8m each) were satisfactory. However, the hotel's facilities are not well-maintained, likely due to its remote location in Jiuzhaigou. There are also some rather peculiar design choices: for instance, the bathroom clearly has two mirrors, but one is completely blocked by the bathtub. To use *that* mirror, you literally have to stand inside the tub! 🤭🤭🤭 Furthermore, the bathroom's floor drain design is problematic; with high water flow, it can't drain fast enough, causing water to pool. The breakfast and the Metok stone pot chicken served at dinner in the hotel restaurant were pretty good. However, I'd strongly caution against ordering any Chinese dishes (😂😂😂); they are genuinely unappetizing, and the quality is very subpar. The hotel's acclaimed ”signature butler service” was rather underwhelming. On the positive side, the two front desk staff members during check-in and check-out were quite helpful and attentive. In summary, for Indigo, an IHG luxury brand, its standards were genuinely hampered by its geographical location this time around.
