Holiday Inn Express Shenzhen North Station: Strip away the sorrow and resentment, leaving only beauty

【Exclusive memory】 "Maybe it's a coincidence, but the front desk staff of any smart hotel near the station are quite arrogant, or "sad" in old Beijing dialect, such as Hangzhou East Station HIX and Shenzhen North Station HIX. Maybe it's because there are all kinds of people near the station, and they are all well-informed. Being indifferent has become the norm in their numb lives, which is understandable. But what's interesting is that the service staff of several airport-related smart hotels, whether in Beijing, Chongqing, or Jinan, are very humble. This is why high-speed rail has developed so rapidly, and many people still stubbornly like to fly. The hardware, airport ground services, and flight attendant software quality of the airport are indeed slightly ahead of rail transportation." The hotel provides free vehicles to Shenzhen North Station, which is quite affordable. The hotel occupancy rate was not high, but they did not reserve a room for me in advance, so I had to wait for half an hour at the front desk for a room. This is extremely rare among the InterContinental hotels I have stayed in. [Guest room glimpse] "The pillows in Smart Choice are divided into two types: soft and hard, but the housekeeping staff put the soft and hard pillows in the wrong place. Obviously, they were too busy or too careless." As always, the hotel gave me the largest suite with a simple reception area. The TV can rotate 360 ​​degrees, but unfortunately the remote control is not easy to use. I changed it and it still doesn't work. The scenery outside the guest room window is superb, with mountains and ridges everywhere. [Brief description of public areas] "The hotel has not cooperated with Luckin Coffee, but it has a paid coffee machine in the lobby, which is co-branded with another brand, and the price of each cup is less than 20 yuan." The lobby decorative wall shows cultural temperament, high ceilings, clear vision, and excellent surrounding greenery, which is unmatched by northern cities. There is no gym, and the laundry room is completely free, but overtime washing items and special washing options require additional scanning charges. I often pick up various items in the drying drum or washing tub of the laundry rooms of various smart laundry shops and hand them over to the staff, such as wrinkled hundred-dollar bills, underwear or socks that the previous guests forgot to take, and so on. There is a table of free mineral water and air purifiers at the elevator entrance on each floor. [Breakfast Overview] "Breakfast is in the annex building, and you need to go through a passage in the middle, passing by the meeting room." There is an outdoor area outside the restaurant, which is especially suitable for barbecue gatherings and chatting. The quality of breakfast is top-notch among Holiday Inn Express hotels. The soup base of the noodle stall is made from seafood and is very tasty. The taro is also delicious, and the supplier of watermelon is top-notch. 【Member Benefits】 "Two welcome fruits and a glass of nightly milk are provided." No diamond welcome gift package. The housekeeping response was very slow. For example, I asked for a laundry bag and shaving foam, but they were not delivered until half an hour after I called. 【Filling the gaps】 "Like the Dalang Fashion Town Smart Selection, this Beizhan Smart Selection also belongs to Longhua District. Although both are separated from Baoan District, the Dalang one is more remote, while this one is closer to the core area."
