📝 Notes
Quite surprised, Gold Card directly gave breakfast and executive benefits
Office chair is too high and fixed height, uncomfortable to sit
Very close to Hebei Museum, just across the street
The all-day dining restaurant looks luxurious, but there's not much to eat, the beef noodles taste okay
Lounge doesn't serve breakfast, open from 10:00 to 22:00
There is a capsule coffee machine, and mugs, but the mugs are too big to fit in, finally
Breakfast experience||
The hotel's all-day dining restaurant is on the 30th floor, the breakfast quality is much better compared to the lounge.
.
First, there is seating and drink service, the iced Americano is good, and there are two types of freshly squeezed juices, carrot and watermelon, but they are quite watery.
.
The noodle station offers beef noodles and old Beijing fried sauce noodles, but the quality is poor, the beef noodle soup base has no beef and no aroma, just salty, and the noodles are undercooked. The fried sauce has a lot of meat, but it seems overcooked, with a strong bitter taste.
.
However, the spicy soup is quite good, although very watery and without meat, the taste is right.
.
There is a station for making congee, but it only offers century egg and lean pork congee, the century egg is very hard, not well-cooked, just so-so, they can also make Eggs Benedict, inform the table number, and it will be delivered when ready, the presentation is not good, slightly overcooked, but the hollandaise sauce seasoning is okay.
.
Other than that, there's nothing much to mention, three types of hot and cold dishes each, all vegetarian, not interested in taking them, two types of Western cold cuts, the salad is average, four types of fruits. The Chinese pancake has no taste, the French toast is hard enough to hurt teeth, and the bakery section has nothing good to eat.
.
Overall, the breakfast is far inferior to the Gaoxin Holiday Inn, the only highlight is probably the high-altitude view.
