Huangma Holiday Hotel

While my co-workers complained about their room's dirty carpets, my tiled floor room was very clean, well designed, and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and clean.

The front desk staff was confused by the Booking.com reservation and it took 20 minutes to figure out. My coworkers were very unhappy with the breakfast buffet and cheesy restaurant. The neighborhood is fairly boring, not many nice dinner options.

They allowed late last minute booking. The people were very cooperative at the breakfast restaurant and they did go out of their way to make decent eggs for us. Bedding was good. They didn't charge us for our daughters' breakfast. No one could speak any English at all at check-in or check-out but they did their best to help nevertheless with a smile.

This is by far not a 5 star hotel. If they were more honest about their star rating (probably 3), they would have received a far better review. We only went there coz it was stated as a 5 star else would have avoided. All the way from entrance lobby to hallways didn't seem air conditioned. My daughter got bit by a herd of mosquitoes in the enclosed lobby area on the sofa at night while she was asleep waiting for us to check-in. Then mosquito entered the room from the hallway and we had do deal with that. There was no fridge in the room at all even though the mini-bar contents list was placed in the room, we ended up requesting use of fridge on another level for our stuff and had to request access to it. We woke up in the morning to the loud noise of the vacuum cleaning machine running right outside our door. View from room was pretty ordinary too.
