Next to the old city, the newly built building is modern and clean. There are many kittens and puppies nearby. There is a shopping mall next to it with cat and dog food on the basement floor. You can ask the restaurant for a box to pack the leftover food for them for free. There are small animals wandering around at the entrance of the parking lot, the two paths on the left and right of the parking lot, and under the tree on the left side of the hotel in the clock direction. The traffic in front of the hotel is very chaotic and people have to be very careful when crossing the road. Many small animals are hit and killed every day. If you are not in a hurry, you can feed them at will, at least you can have a good meal in their short life. Before leaving, I saw a kitten that was hit and killed under the tree on the left side of the hotel. Because there was cement and asphalt around, I couldn't help him rest in peace. Alas.
The hotel management seems to have some problems. I was still outside in the morning of the check-out day. The Ctrip staff helped me contact the front desk to delay the check-out for one hour. The feedback said that the total delay was two hours, that is, check-out at 2 pm. After I went back at 12:30, the front desk confirmed the check-out time, which delayed me for a while. After I had processed it and entered the room, a guy at the front desk knocked on the door and said awkwardly that I needed to check out immediately because the room was fully booked today. But there were still many vacancies of the same type online...
It was already midnight when I arrived. All the payments were made online (including two taxes). The check-in staff also confirmed it for a long time, and finally asked me to pay the tax. I was sure that I had paid online again. I gave him a link to the Chinese and English versions of the pdf, but it didn't work. I had to forward all the emails (Chinese sent by Ctrip) and tell him what it meant... Later, he saw that it was too late and still processed it for me first. Later, I thought they had confirmed it, but after not giving me a delay, I went to the front desk and was hesitant about the tax for a long time. They told me that the exchange rate was CNY, which was not cost-effective for them? ? ? Which country's platform will definitely show the currency of the country I am booking on? I used a British card to pay in pounds. In theory, the pound exchange rate is so high that it is not suitable for me, but this is not the same thing. It seems like I am taking advantage? There was a guy at the front desk who was very nice. When I asked for a paper bag or plastic bag to put my things in, he found me a canvas bag from the hotel. He was also very friendly. I feel that the chain brand staff here have a natural preconceived invisible discrimination against Asian faces, a stereotype...
But ordinary people here are generally very nice, much better than Morocco, Egypt, Jordan and other underdeveloped Middle Eastern countries. Many people are kind-hearted, and they are just curious about Asian faces and want to say a few words. They are also better to cats and dogs than in Türkiye.
