"My parents and I took a Yangtze River cruise from Chongqing to Yichang. After disembarking in the morning, we checked into the Wyndham Yichang at noon. We booked a suite with a huge living room featuring a large, curved floor-to-ceiling window offering beautiful river views. The sofa in the living room was big enough for one person to sleep on, so we didn't need an extra bed.
The bedroom had an air purifier, and even though it's a new hotel, there was absolutely no new-decoration smell (my mom and I both have sensitive noses).
Our butler, Sunny, contacted me the day before check-in to ask about our arrival time and needs. Since there were three of us, she proactively offered a complimentary breakfast for the third person, which was incredibly thoughtful! The room she arranged perfectly matched my request for a good view. We also received welcome fruit and delicate pastries.
Just a friendly reminder to everyone, the minibar is complimentary, which I thought was a great touch.
When we went to visit the Three Gorges Dam with our cruise tour guide, the guide mentioned that the local Lunwan oranges are particularly delicious this season. My mom and I were instantly intrigued. Around 8 PM, I messaged Sunny on WeChat, asking where we could buy fresh Lunwan oranges near the hotel. Sunny suggested checking the fruit shops near Wanda Plaza, downstairs from the hotel. When we returned to the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised to find that Sunny had arranged for a colleague to deliver a large bag of oranges to our room – what a wonderful surprise!
We bought a bag of oranges from a small fruit truck behind the hotel downstairs, and we also tried the oranges from the hotel. The hotel's oranges were clearly much better – not exceptionally large, but noticeably fresher, with thinner skin and more juice.
Breakfast is served from 07:00 to 10:00 (breakfast is served in the main restaurant downstairs, not the Executive Lounge).
The hotel's breakfast spread is extensive. Besides the usual egg and noodle stations, there's also a congee station where you can choose your own ingredients (seafood, beef, century egg and lean pork, etc.). They also offer Yichang's local radish dumplings (it would be even better if they had Yichang's signature spicy oil buns).
The Executive Lounge is open from 12:00 to 20:00, offering all-day service: around 6 kinds of fresh fruit, freshly ground coffee, tea, soft drinks, and small biscuits. There's also alcohol available (I'm not sure if it's available all day, as we don't drink).
• Afternoon Tea (approx. 14:00-17:00): A good variety of hotel-made cakes (they weren't overly sweet, which was a plus!).
• Happy Hour (18:00-20:00): Several types of cold cuts, vegetable salads, and what seemed like 4-6 hot dishes, two of which were fried. The selection was a bit limited."
