【Holiday Inn Express Chengdu Wenjiang Hot Spring Suite】 Huamu Shule
🛏 【️Holiday Inn Express Chengdu Wenjiang Hot Spring】
📌 Hotel Overview
❶. Comprehensive evaluation: There are 40 InterContinental hotels in Chengdu, two of which are in Wenjiang District. Similar to Chengde Yuanbaoshan Holiday Inn Express and Cuiyunshan Crown and Express, Wenjiang Crown and Wenjiang Hot Spring Express are also dual-brand twin hotels. The two hotels, one in front and one behind, are both located in the Health City complex. In this large-scale building complex, there are Huamuli Shopping Mall, Shulechi Hot Spring, community, hotel, park and other business formats, which is like a small society with its own style, which is extremely warm;
❷. Local profile: Turn left and turn left again after leaving the hotel, and then go straight for one stop to the C1 exit of the "Phoenix Street" subway station.
🏨 About the guest room In Room
❶. Guest room layout: The hotel helped me upgrade to a 43-square-meter open suite. Their other parent-child suite is of the same size. What I like most is the long, multifunctional writing table with an integrated design of the bedroom and the bed. It has a sense of wrapping and security, which is extremely rare in the HIX category. I like it very much. Now, most smart hotels do not place paper handbags in the guest rooms, but this one does. It is a very niche room service, but it is indeed the most disciplined; in addition, the view of the guest rooms on high floors is very good; the welcome letter of Shenyang Tawan Smart Hotel blatantly asks for good reviews, and it is very utilitarian. Most of the IHG hotels in the southwest are good at service, and most of the services are silent, making people feel comfortable from the inside out;
❷. Welcome gift: The presentation and variety of welcome fruits and welcome snacks are exactly the same as those of the CP next to it. It is indeed a Chinese owner. The management is too unified, and the uniformity is almost without personality, haha.
☕️ Dining
❶. Gourmet glimpse: In the peak season, breakfast is served on the third floor; in the off-season, breakfast is served directly on the first floor of the Crown Hotel next to it. This is also the usual practice of dual-brand hotels, such as Badaling Crown Hotel and Express, Tianan Yungu Yiheng Hotel and Express, Chongli InterContinental Hotel and Yiheng Hotel, etc., all of which save costs and employee investment while making guests of low-end brands feel that they are getting great value for money, or even that they are getting a small bargain, haha;
❷. Urban gluttony: Recently, the "Caifeng Building" Chinese restaurant of most InterContinental hotels in Sichuan is holding a series of Yunnan-flavored banquets, and the Crown Hotel next to the Express is also the same. Caifeng Building is on the first floor. As a Yunnan native, I am of course happy to see it.
🏊 Hardware Facilities
❶. Hotel environment: The laundry room is on the third floor. Washing and drying both cost 15 yuan. Fortunately, it is a high-power commercial washing machine imported from the United States. The washing and drying effect exceeds that of most laundry equipment in hotels of the same level. There are papers and pens on the small tables at the entrance and exit of the elevator hall. Now, few smart hotels can do this in a standardized way;
❷. Recreation and fitness: The hotel lobby is almost integrated with the hot spring bathing. Of course, there is a separate entrance for the hot spring bathing, which also requires a separate charge.
🌟 The Moments
❶. Star employees: When not busy, smart hotel employees will also be seconded to Crown to help, such as during breakfast;
❷. Number of stays: I have stayed in this hotel 8 times, and this is the 9th time. Next month, Hilton Garden Inn Feixi will open. In fact, in addition to Anhui, cities such as Chengdu and Xi'an have always been the battlegrounds for large hotel groups. I look forward to the InterContinental Hotel in Chengdu breaking through the 50 mark as soon as possible!
📍 Brief summary Conclusion
❶. Wonderful moments: The TV can receive RT, Katyusha, Australia and Asia TV, etc. In comparison, Crown has Phoenix News and Chinese on this basis. In any case, it is rare to receive foreign and regional channels in the smart selection brand. This is another advantage of dual-brand hotels. Hotels with slightly lower grades can always borrow or get the "light" of another good hotel;
❷. Regrets: Whether the laundry room is charged or not has always been a difficult problem. The paid smart selection has excellent maintenance of washing and drying equipment, and there is no need to queue. Everything is clean and refreshing. The disadvantage is that the fee is slightly expensive. Now, the paid smart selection laundry room generally adopts two forms: direct scanning code or buying coins at the front desk; the free smart selection has a worn-out washing and drying equipment, and some of the power and effect have decreased, and it is often necessary to queue. The advantage is that it does not cost money at all, which is suitable for long-term guests. Based on this, the HIX brand does not have a rigid regulation on whether the laundry room is charged or not. It is all based on local conditions and each has its own policy.
