This hotel is a must-stay for students visiting Yantai!

Yantai Sheraton Hotel The suite is equipped with a single bed and a king-size bed. The single bed is placed in the living room, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in the corner room provide an excellent view of the sea. Facing east, you can enjoy the sunrise. However, the glass is quite dirty, so it is better to enjoy the view from a distance. The executive lounge service is attentive. This time, three adults stayed, and the lounge staff generously gave an extra dinner. The happy hour dishes are rich and delicious, with lamb spine and small seafood. Although there are not many guests, the food is replenished quickly and promptly. However, there are some areas for improvement in this hotel. First, the facilities and decoration style are slightly outdated, with a strong sense of age. The room door uses an old-fashioned card reading method, and there were multiple instances of the room card not being recognized during the stay. In the corridor, you can also see many guests repeatedly trying to insert the card. Second, the bathroom odor problem is quite obvious. When I first asked the staff to deal with it, they only sprayed air freshener. It was only resolved after I strongly requested a room change. Third, the concierge service at the door is lacking. They did not proactively open and close car doors, carry luggage, or direct vehicles for guests. I once saw a mother holding a child get out of the car and couldn't close the door because her hands were full. The driver shouted to close the door, but the concierge seemed oblivious. Fourth, the quality of toiletries is poor and not the standard equipment of the group. The mineral water provided is also an unknown small brand, not common brands like Pure Water. Overall, the situation at Yantai Sheraton Hotel is quite complex. The 150 yuan room rate is indeed very attractive, but it comes with many shortcomings. While the hotel actively promotes and offers points and room upgrades to attract customers, it performs poorly in terms of hardware facilities and service quality, resulting in unsatisfactory occupancy rates. Under the low-price strategy, the hotel and guests seem to be in a less-than-ideal lose-lose situation, which seems to be a typical portrayal of the current era of cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the hotel industry.
