Haitian Sports Hotel

I stayed here for 2 nights in April 2015, it's almost winter that day (10-15 Celsius degrees) . The room is pretty clean but old , it needs to have some renovation I think. I didn't think that the heater is broken, but I felt like frozen for 2 nights . Bathroom was good and clean, nice hot water 24/7 . Basic amenities also available . Breakfast was just okay , nothing special about the breakfast.

I was in Qingdao for a business trip. When arriving in the hotel, at about midnight I was asked for a reservation. Even though I could present a written confirmation, the employee at the front desk could not find anything. I was asked to allow to use my credit card for 2000 RMB deposit. I should have signed a receipt with Chinese characters only which I certainly refused. I put clear that I shall only sign papers when clearly understood. When I entered my room on the 20Th floor it had a smell in between a sheep or a goat stable. The room temperature was about 28°C. It took about 2.5 hours using the air conditioning plant to put the room to 23°C. During that time I checked the emergency exits as the apartment was in the 20th floor. Needless to say that there are to be two emergency staircases as one is simply not enough. The emergency exit next to my room was blocked at several floors over the whole breath with beds, washing machines and all kind of combustible rubbish. Air draught stop doors where open and the self closing devices mostly broken. At the end of the emergency escape exit the door was locked. The employee at the front desk was not in passion of a key as asked for it in order to unlock the door. At 0:55 in the early morning a young lady knocked on my door offering a massage – no point to mention which kind of. I confronted management with the question who precisely gave indication at which door to knock in a hotel with 20 floors – no answer was given. In the public areas of the hotel there are only traditional toilets where one must stand for using them. The restaurant is a catastrophe, one table collapsed while using them – no problem for the staff as there were many others. A cook’s helper showed during lunch, his former white work wear was dirtier than a cleaning rag for a floor. Overall the only person acting professionally in the hotel was the lady offering the massage service which was certainly refused.
