"I used to not think much of it, but accumulating Trip.com membership points is genuinely useful. My IHG membership isn't particularly high-tiered because I haven't focused on it, but every time I book a hotel through Trip.com, I've been upgraded to a suite at least. This time was no exception; I booked a deluxe room and was upgraded to a family suite. Plus, as a Trip.com VIP, I received complimentary milk and Coke. Thumbs up to Trip.com!
The location is excellent, a 10-minute walk to Zumiao Temple and a 15-minute drive to Nanfeng Ancient Kiln. There are plenty of dining, shopping, and entertainment options nearby. It's an old building, a renovation of the former Foshan Hotel. The lower-floor rooms don't get much natural light, but for just over 500 RMB, you can't really complain.
If I had to pick a downside, it would be the service. When checking in, I had to proactively greet the front desk staff. The unoccupied staff didn't anticipate guests and offer to check them in, and after checking in, they didn't tell me which elevator to take, causing us to drag our luggage to the wrong floor. I feel like the service staff needs more training. Also, lunch at the hotel was about 20 RMB per person and felt very mediocre; I'd rather go to Dian Du De."
