According to Jinjiang Metropolo’s official channels, members can now enjoy “Best Price Guaranteed Online” special discounted rooms starting from as low as RMB 79 when booking any brand hotel via the Jinjiang Inn official website or mobile app and completing prepayment. Rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. This is not a short-term promotion but a long-term offer that will continue indefinitely, providing guests with tangible benefits.
“The so-called ‘Best Price Guaranteed Online’ means we guarantee the most competitive price across all online search and booking channels,” said representatives from Jinjiang Metropolo. “Through our official website, mobile app, and other direct sales channels, guests not only get the best prices but also enjoy the highest quality assurance.”
In recent years, due to information asymmetry and other factors, guests booking hotels through third-party platforms such as group-buying websites have often encountered issues such as no rooms available upon arrival or services not matching the descriptions, leading to numerous customer complaints — media reports on such issues have been frequent.
The peak summer travel season is now in full swing. It is advised that travelers book their hotels in advance through official hotel channels to avoid the awkward situation of arriving at a hotel only to find no room available.
