95% of the hotels in China will just turn you down if you're a foreigner. Can't be arsed to register you to police
I'm not shitting you.
Obviously the big hotels will accept you, but anything below them probably won't
We've been turned down many times
Also, you need a Chinese phone number to get free WiFi anywhere. Really unfriendly to international tourists
We went to a lower end hotel because we just needed somewhere to sleep for the night and when they saw me they are like no foreigners
I read that on Reddit lol
We finally convinced them just to not register me
Someone said he had to go to the expensive international hotel down the road
And the place was a complete shithole. Literal cumshots on the wall that they couldn't be arsed to wipe down. Janitors roaming the halls pretending to work
Wtf
There's a weird culture around janitors here. They are all shite
And no one tells them to be good
I've stayed in some cheap hotel in Thailand
Still ncie and cleab
All the janitors are like women in their 50s and up and just pretend to work most of the time. Receive no training and no management
Staff friendly ok WiFi as well
Hahaha
Yeah I've stayed in cheap places around Asia too with no problem
But China they have zero standards
My dad was thinking of going there on holiday
Not sure what's there but whatever
Taiwan is incredible, a literal paradise compared to China
Lmao
Your dad will have a blast
Very international traveler friendly
Lots of culture
Beautiful scenery, cheap food
Sounds good
If you're in China , don't bother with cheap hotels. You can get a 5star experience for $100 a night
They are great. Look for foreign owned hotels
Cheaper than the west but same experience
If you go to a $25 hotel, you're going to get cumshots and black mold. Try to complain, they will yell at you for critsizing the hotel
So we ordered a package like 5 days ago and it hasn't arrived. It said yesterday that it was "out for delivery" but it never came. In China they put the phone number of the delivery driver on there
So we call and ask nicely about the package
And the guy is like "What?? Huh what do you want?! Hurry up, speak!!"
And there is like a crying baby in the background
And long story short he says "I have hundreds of packages to deliver!! You'll get yours when it comes!! Wtf am I supposed to do!!"
Like screaming and yelling at us
The crying baby in the background means that he was sitting on his couch at home or a friends house
