Jinan Accomodation

From our trip from Hohhot we had booked into Jinan Nanjiao Hotel. Because we left Hohhot early I had sent an email to the hotel to change our booking.

We caught a taxi from the airport because it was the only means of transportation. The taxi cost a cool Y160 ($26). When we arrived at the hotel we thought that perhaps we were at the wrong hotel because this hotel was magnificent especially after coming from The Anda Guesthouse in Hohhot.

We went to the check in counter and of course there was no booking for us. They told us we could have a room for the night but each room was Y632 ($105). Of course I disputed this because that was not what we had been quoted on the website. Eventually I got them to allow me to use the internet where I could show them the booking. Finally we agreed on Y400 ($66) for the night. This was Y2 more than quoted on the internet. Plus we had already paid a Y 39.80 on booking. At this stage it wasn't worth the argument and all I wanted was a shower.

The hotel was beautiful and I think I will stay there on my next trip to Jinan.
