"I traveled to Quanzhou during the Dragon Boat Festival and chose the newly opened IHG Yiheng Hotel. Overall, I was quite satisfied. The location is not in the ancient city, but it is convenient to take a taxi to various tourist spots. It is a good choice for Quanzhou tourism.
Let me talk about the advantages first:
1. The front desk has a good attitude. There are welcome drinks when checking in, and the introduction of the hotel is also relatively clear. A small sachet was also given as a gift on the Dragon Boat Festival, which made people feel very warm.
2. Although the hotel is newly opened, the room smells not strong, and the facilities and equipment feel very new, giving people a good first impression.
3. The hotel should be mainly female-friendly. In addition to the yoga supplies in the room (although I didn’t use them), another very bright detail is that in addition to ordinary supplies, it is also specially equipped with makeup remover, facial cleanser and toner. This surpasses 90% of domestic hotels and is really worthy of praise.
4. Although it is a Ctrip OTA reservation, the free mini bar and welcome fruit, as well as the room type upgrade according to the room status, are basically the same as IHG high-card members. Thank you very much.
5. The baked sweet potatoes and ice cream in the lobby, the free-to-use washing machines and dryers, and the well-equipped gym give people the feeling that the hotel has thought very well about the facilities and details.
After talking about the advantages, let me mention some shortcomings:
1. There is no big problem with the hygiene of the room, but I saw hair on the sofa as soon as I entered the room. The details of hygiene need to be improved.
2. When checking in, I registered my mobile phone number without telling the purpose. About a few hours after checking in, I received a text message that I had successfully registered with the IHG Group. I already have an IHG Group member and don’t want to register a new account. The front desk successfully registered for me without communication, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Considering that employees may have performance to complete, it is also recommended that the hotel communicate with guests first if there are similar needs in the future. At the same time, I am also somewhat worried whether the newly registered account will affect the points accumulated in my original IHG account?
3. When checking out, I asked the front desk if I could leave a room card as a souvenir. The front desk said that it would be charged, which was a bit shocking. I believe that many frequent travelers have a hobby of collecting hotel room cards. I also often stay in hotels under IHG, Marriott and other groups. I have never encountered room card charges in China. Instead, the front desk will take out several room cards with different patterns to choose from. I have only heard of room card charges in chain hotels such as 7 Days and Home Inn. The price of IHG hotel, which costs 600 yuan per night, is not low. Compared with the extremely low cost of a room card, this detail really leaves some small regrets for the originally relatively satisfactory trip.
4. The handrail in the hotel bathroom is a bit buggy. After the steam from the shower is large, the bathroom door is ****** very tightly, and the handrail in the bathroom is very, very small (either a long handrail or a door handle). I just took a shower and my hands were slippery and I couldn’t pull the small door handle at all. I can only rely on my family to push it hard outside. If you stay in a hotel alone and are trapped by the bathroom door, you should be very panicked. It is recommended that the hotel improve.
In summary, the facilities of the new hotel are quite new, and the location is not far from various attractions in Quanzhou. If it is a weekday price of 400+, it is still worth staying. The overall service is also online. Although there are some problems, the merits outweigh the flaws. I hope the hotel can improve it more and look forward to having the opportunity to stay in Quanzhou again in the future."
