Home Inn Changchun Chongqing Road Wanda Plaza

I was disappointed by the cigarette smell in our room when we checked in. No one at the reception desk can speak English.

The location is perfect, though it’s an old hotel and the interior feels dated.

I’d misplaced my wallet and was rushing to catch my flight without my ID, and I only suspected it might have been stolen. The hotel lobby manager immediately helped look for it and arranged for CCTV footage from the period when I thought it went missing to be reviewed. They also quickly handled checkout and got me a taxi. I made it onto the flight just three minutes before the doors closed. The service and security were top-notch. Thanks to the manager and all the staff. See you next time!

Breakfast is meant to run from 7 am to 9 am, though I think it’s usually available from around 6:30 am. The hotel is in the city center and seems to be making an effort to renovate, but its age shows in a lot of ways. There are two elevators, but one is under construction, which I understand, though it makes them very slow. I probably won’t stay here again.
