The check-in process at the front desk was quick, and then a staff member personally escorted us to our room, giving off a butler-style service vibe. They also introduced the room facilities and amenities. The minibar drinks were all free, and the room also offered Longjing tea and Hupao spring water—never before have we stayed in a hotel where such thoughtfulness was extended.
