This often happens in China. You can never fully know what to expect in a hotel. I had made a reservation ahead of time. The deal was for a hotel that seemed pretty nice. The Jin Hai Hotel listed a lot of nice amenities and seemed like a great catch, since the room was also such a steal. Once we arrived, we realized it was a steal, because of its crappy condition. The rooms like these were not attached to the nice hotel. When we got to the reception desk the first day, they called someone else to bring us around back to the 2nd "motel" version of the Jin Hai hotel. So, it wasn't quite the luxurious pad we were hoping for. We survived though and still had fun!
Nothing seemed clean. That was the huge joke. Cob webs and sticky dirt and stains covered the place.
This doesn't look to bad, right? This part photographs pretty well, but then you look closer...
Our "door", or should I say screen door didn't give me the feeling of security. I'm sure with one pitiful kick I could have broken it.
We weren't really sure how you couldn't just give the room a quick clean.
And finally, the most deceiving thing of all were the beds. They looked big and fluffy from the website pictures, but once we pulled back the blanket we found that they had basically laid a mattress pad (that felt like cardboard) on a wooden box. Oh, what a great experience to file away in my memory!
