From arriving at the hotel to being settled in our room was at least an hour and a half. I’ve lived in China for 3 years and check in can be a bit slow since they have to do lots of checks but this was a whole new level. When we arrived we were directed to a a receptionist who did the usual taking of passports scanning, we were then asked for when we had landed China, which city flight numbers (these went back 4 months) which has never happened before, after all this she started talking to a colleague for about 15 minutes as something wasn’t right but nothing was communicated, I was then asked to show the booking which I did and after all this they told me they couldn’t find it so we were asked to sit down and wait while they made some calls. After 20 minutes we were told by a different person,Carlton, he’d found it (the issue apparently being that they’d been looking for hotels.com who had in turn booked through expedia( never had this issue it should just come up with a name)) we were then asked to go through the whole passport checking procedure again, we told him we’d already done this even directing him to the colleague who had done this at which point he shouted “it’s government policy” he then continued to be very short and rude with us for the rest of the check in process which was another 20 minutes or so, when we did get to a room it was a small dirty end room and we asked to change luckily the person we asked was more helpful.
