"This hotel is located on the 14th floor of Tianyi Plaza shopping mall.
I initially booked a twin room, but found that it didn't have any real windows – only interior windows. There was even a balcony separating the window from the outside, so no sunlight could get in. The room was tiny and stuffy, completely unlike what was advertised.
The front desk staff, however, had a good service attitude.
After a rather complicated process, I eventually switched to a river-view king room. This room was also very small, and even though it had a 'real' window, it was still separated by a balcony. At that point, I just gave up on switching again. Unfortunately, the room's water system had issues. I suspect the water pressure wasn't sufficient and required an extra pump to activate.
Whenever I used the sink or flushed the toilet after using it, there was an extremely loud, booming noise, like an engine starting up. I could even hear the same noise when toilets on the floor above were flushed.
Apparently, the entire 14th floor is like this, and all the rooms have problems. The 15th and 16th floors don't have this noise issue, but they also lack interior windows.
Basically, every room in this hotel has some kind of problem. If you choose a room with a window, you have to put up with the incredibly loud noise. If you choose a room without a window (an interior window), you'll have to endure stuffy air and poor lighting.
Do NOT stay here!!!"
