Despite the view and the room (which, by the way, was squeaky clean), the hotel seemed abandoned, except for three workers restoring the roof and facade. After spending the night, we woke up the next morning and went down to breakfast. Upon arriving at the corresponding floor, we found two women sitting there, and upon seeing us, one of them stood up and gestured to us for food. We nodded, and the woman entered the kitchen (which looked like a New Delhi ghetto, dirty, with no food anywhere and garbage on the floor) and held a noodle out in her hand and offered it to us. My partner and I looked at each other in bewilderment and disbelief. We then declined, and the woman, without quite understanding what we were saying, entered the kitchen and took a ladleful of something that looked like porridge or something liquid with lumps from a bowl. After several attempts with the translator to ask if there was coffee, juice, dessert, or anything normal, we were told that was all there was. We've been in China for 14 days, and in every hotel we've eaten noodles, rice, even soup (which we know what they eat for breakfast, so we've adapted), but it was the mannerisms, the appearance of the kitchen, and the lack of desire to work, along with the limited options available. It was all a bit depressing and pitiful. The service and infrastructure were terrible. Not to mention the exorbitant room rates and the deceptive photos from when the hotel was built; they're not up to date at all.
