I booked the hotel through Sinohotels and everything went smoothly with the booking. However, once I checked in, I actually went back down to the desk to make certain that I had received the type A room that I had spent the extra money to book.
I lived in Yantai in and my parents stayed in the Pacific at that time. The hotel at that time was 4 stars with nice rooms. I myself stayed in the Pacific in and had a great room with a really good breakfast included in the western restaurant. Therefore, when I went back to Yantai, I chose the Pacific based on these past experiences. I found my room to be nice, but worn. The floor was filthy and the sheets of one of the twin beds in the room were marked and disgusting.
Fortunately, I only needed one of the beds. The bathroom is really grotty. The counter was stained and kind of nasty. The shower was not so nice either. The breakfast is ok, but not what I expected. It is really extensive, but as a westerner I am not so excited about a large Chinese breakfast.
There are coffee and baked goods, however. The worst part is the massage offers. I have lived in China and sort of expect a call at some point asking if I want a massage prostitutes calling.
However, never I have experienced what happens at However, never I have experienced what happens at the Pacific. But, what really floored me was when they came to my room night after night. They ring the bell regardless of whether or not you have the do not disturb sign hung on the door. They also pound on the door for a minute. The first night, I opened the door and fortunately, kept my foot in front of the door.
