HhollyThis time I brought my child, and since my little one really dislikes car seats, I usually choose hotels that are close by. The only issue is that this area is very popular, so even during off-peak hours, traffic was terrible both ways.
Upon check-in, they gave us some popular grape cookies. They seemed to use quality ingredients, so if you like crispy cookies, you might want to try them. I tasted them but didn't buy any.
The room for a hotel of this caliber was quite small, like a three-star level, nothing more. The bed was also one of the smaller ones I've encountered in a five-star king room. The bathroom had one of those trendy sliding doors, but in such a small space, it was awkward. If you didn't pull both panels, going to the toilet felt like being in a glass box. And having to pull two panels every time you used the toilet was a hassle. Even though I was staying with family, it felt too exposed. With the round table by the bed, it was hard to move around, and sitting in the chair next to it felt cramped. Overall, the room was quite ordinary, not even as spacious as my own home.
They can provide a crib for the room, but there's no baby safety rail, which mothers with infants might want to consider. With the crib in place, there was even less room to move around. And I didn't even bring a suitcase this time.
The hotel garden is very well maintained, and even on Sundays, there were many people taking photos. Several lawn weddings were also being held. We got a complimentary photoshoot with our stay, but when we went for our session, several lawns were booked for weddings. We could only take pictures in a few scattered spots. The next day, a weekday, many areas were still closed for maintenance, so overall, not many areas were open to guests. There was construction nearby, which was a bit noisy.
Breakfast was decent. The Chinese noodle station had freshly made wontons, which were good. The Western station didn't have common items like Eggs Benedict or omelets. Western food doesn't seem to be their strong suit.
I don't like Western desserts, so I didn't try them.
The concierge service was excellent. They brought the luggage cart promptly and helped us with our bags.
There's no need to stay here just for the lawn; it's not very accessible to guests anyway. A quick walk around is enough, just walk in. It's not like Xijiao, which has a large garden exclusively for guests.
