Meilian City Holiday Hotel

The location is good; close to the Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street. The hotel is old and dated. Some staff are friendly and some are rude. Our room is average and one of the tables is very dirty and sticky. The bathroom is very old and not maintained well. The shower curtain is old and dirty. The view from the restaurant is g. The breakfast is average and not hot enough.

Our tai chi group stayed at the Meilian City Holiday Hotel for the second time in three years. The rooms we had in 2017 were generally clean. I also remembered the delicious breakfasts in the revolving dining room every morning. However, two years later I/we stayed in a filthy room with no option to change as the hotel was fully. The hallway carpets were dirty. I bitterly complained about the room condition and told the staff they barely offered a 2 star hotel. At one point two front desk staff came up to the street facing room to see the dirt on the floor and mildew growing by the A/C. This hotel desperately needs renovation! We were given an air filter machine for the room but I still slept with my face mask on. Unfortunately the air outside is polluted so opening the window wasn’t an option. I travelled three times to China in 1985 escorting American tourists when tourism was just beginning. Our rooms were cleaner then! I’ve been in China three times since 2017 and this was the worst hotel room I stayed in! In fact it was the dirtiest room I may have ever been in! I will only return if management guarantees that their rooms have been upgraded, thoroughly cleaned and refurbished. It’s central location is great but any traveler to Wuhan has other hotel choices. Beware the room you may be assigned! The only redeeming amenity: a sumptuous breakfast in the revolving restaurant.

The good points first: The reception was nice. In a streak of 10 hotels, this was the first time the receptiondesk was not disgruntled when i showed up early, because 'my room is not ready'. (as if i would even insist on a room when i show up early) they even gave me a different room that was ready, without me asking. So great work Amy. Now the bad stuff: The Room was supposed to be a none smoking room (as was even written on the door, but it stank like an old ashtray and the Noise from the street was audiable to the point, where it was hard to sleep. It seems that in the past this hotel had a spa (that was partnered with it). well this spa does not exist anymore, the floor is only a ruin including the Gym. I am unsure about the tenniscourt or the pool, both are closed off. Most of the stuff in the room was in disrepair or very old. the bed was so uneven it might as well be a globe, All in all, i would not with this on a prison inmate. All in all, this hotel has seen its best days long ago. And as mentioned above the only saving grace was the nice reception.
