After checking in in the afternoon, Wendy was visiting the reception hall with a baby stroller and a small burger. A young male staff member enthusiastically asked us where we were coming from. After replying that it was Taiwan, the other party immediately squatted down to face the small burger. Saying "Taiwan of China" three times in a row made Wendy dumbfounded on the spot, wanting to say that this is how W Hotel greets?And it is to greet the children who have just turned one year old. Although the children can't wait for education, it is not the hotel staff to do it for them. Actually, I met in a brand hotel from the United States!
In the evening, we also took a small burger and wanted to go to the bar to have some wine and snacks. The service staff informed the bar that there is an age limit, but we can arrange for us to sit in the reception hall to dine and drink. I want to say that this rule is normal, just sit Waiting in the reception hall, then...there was no more, no one came to greet and order food at all.After encountering these dumbfounding things, I simply cancelled the breakfast booked the next day. I only felt that with the international brand of W Hotel, it is obvious that the education and training of hotel staff needs to be strengthened.
✅Comprehensive evaluation: Design hotel suitable for fashionable people
W Hotel is a fashionable luxury brand under the Marriott Hotel Group. It focuses on trendy and innovative modern living styles. When I checked in, I saw young people coming in and out. I saw the consumption strength of China's wealthy people. Unfortunately, it was winter Christmas and the outdoor swimming pool was closed. The outdoor is rainy and rainy, and when you return to the room, you can only see the hazy night view on the opposite bank. If it is specially designed for the invincible night view and swimming pool photographers, it is recommended to go in summer, but there are heated swimming pools and spa facilities indoors. Less time, but if you are a family with children, the room type and service in this hotel are not family friendly, so you have to consider it carefully.
