The hidden story
I chose to stay here as it was shown as 4 stars, said to be convenient to city and had shuttle service. I decided to pay the higher fee, to have a superior stay in Hong Kong.
Convenient, it is not. About as far away as you can get..two hours plus from the border. 1 hour to downtown by metro..50 dollars for 2 each way. Shuttle service is a fee run operation, 44 dollars each way for 2.
The room was clean, but old decor. TV old and small tube type. No tissue in bathroom. No cooking or eating utensils for the kitchen and hottop did not function. No internet service provided..you must pay 120 dollars a day plus 10% service fee. Check in time begins at 2pm. We arrived at 2:30 and room not ready..asked to wait half hour. Later, the room was given away and we had to ask for another one.
Be aware that each and every service has a 10% service fee. Coffee was soso and rather pricey. Heard that food is not good, so we did not eat there. Eating in area is also limited, but did find fast food place in front of hotel that was good.
A local person was shocked to learn that the hotel did not include a breakfast with the room. Said it was normal to do so. We were offered nothing..all for a fee.
Asked to speak to manager, but never able to make contact. Feedback on question on internet wa conveyed by front desk staff, verbally.
Location is the biggest issue..beware.
