Guiyang Huaxi Four Points by Sheraton Hotel

Guiyang Huaxi Four Points by Sheraton Hotel This is my second stay at this hotel. It's quite a good value for money, although the location is a bit off. However, there's a Wanda and Vanke nearby with complete facilities which is great for business trips. I made a last-minute booking this time, and the hotel called soon after to proactively upgrade me to an executive room (Gold Card) and even offered breakfast after I inquired, which shows the staff are very communicative and the hotel is quite generous, so kudos for that. The front desk was well-staffed, so there was no queue for check-in. The room this time was a corner room, which was quite spacious and had good lighting. The provision of both large and small slippers was a thoughtful touch. Four Points doesn't offer a lounge, so the minibar drinks, beer, and snacks in the executive room are complimentary. The hardware is fairly new and well-maintained, but the cleanliness could be slightly better. There were some fine hairs sticking to the inner wall of the bathtub and dried water stains on the faucet, but it wasn't a big issue. I always wash the bathtub twice before using it and throw in an effervescent tablet. I used the gym at night, which is accessed with a card. It's not very large and the equipment, which is from Life Fitness, is somewhat limited in quantity and variety, but the gym is very quiet, almost no one else was using it, so it was sufficient. The breakfast the next morning was standard; I couldn't find any yogurt and the variety of food wasn't very rich. The intestine and blood curd noodles were passable. Overall, I have a good impression of this hotel. The staff are quite enthusiastic and always greet you. The front desk is also very warm. Another issue is the elevator card system, which often doesn't work, leading to several awkward moments where I and other guests couldn't get our cards to work in the elevator. But compared to the Holiday Inn I stayed at the previous night, which was in the same price range, both the software and hardware are much better. The Holiday Inn only beats the Four Points in terms of location and the view from the window. In all other aspects, it's completely outclassed.
