We stayed at one of the K Hotels a few years back and were not impressed. Earlier this year, they offered discounts for a new branch, K Hotels Tianjin, so we decided to give it one more try. We booked a room on its website and received a confirmation email. Then we asked a question through email but did not get any response. We left a message on their website and still got no reply. Unfortunately, there was a change of schedule and we had to cancel one night’s booking. I ended up calling them, and a clerk said on the phone that I had to cancel all nights because that’s how the system was set up. In other words, if we still wanted to stay at their hotel, we had to rebook the other nights. But the rate had gone up like NT$600 higher per night. I asked to speak to his supervisor, and after a couple of phone calls and conversations the problem was finally resolved.
K Hotels Tianjin was newly opened this year with brand new facilities. It is conveniently located between two MRT stations — Taipei Main Station & Shandao Temple. At check-in, we were told that our room was upgraded to Executive Room. The room had windows on two sides. The curtains were thick enough to block out the light. Our only complaint about the room was that the counter space in the bathroom was quite small. The hotel would have the monthly “disinfection” routine the following day, so we had to pack up everything before we went out. We travel quite often but this was the first time we had stayed at a hotel with a “disinfection” routine.

We came back to K Hotels Tianjin after visiting another city. This time we were upgraded to the best room type, K suite. The room came with a two-seater sofa, and a much bigger desk and TV. The bathroom was similar to the Executive Room’s, except that the bathtub was quite deep. Shorter people may find it difficult to get in and out. What we liked most about the hotel was the great soundproof walls. We never heard a sound from outside the room.

Our stay came with a breakfast buffet. There were Chinese and Western foods, and different fruits. Computers and laundry facilities were provided free of charge. During our stay, most of the hotel guests were from Mainland China, Hong Kong, and other Asian and Western countries. My experience at K Hotels Tianjin once again proves that the frontline staff is crucial. The male clerk on the phone might have limited authority to override the system, but he did not seem to have tried his best. In comparison, a lady at the front desk always addressed me by name, which made me feel welcome.

K Suite的浴室馬桶是先進科技。
讀到文中Two-Seater Sofa。
很有意思,在美國很少見到用這詞。都是用較羅曼蒂克的Loveseat。
查了一下,IKEA只有在美國網頁Two-Seat Sofa類別裡全使用Loveseat。而在英國網頁就只有Two-seat,沒有Loveseat。
近年在台灣住宿好像都是免治馬桶,相信和希望招徠日本遊客有關。
在美國逛家具店的印象是2個座位的沙發叫loveseat,此字予人溫馨和羅曼蒂克之感。two-seater比較平舖直敘,就是一個2個座位的東西,沒帶太多其他含意。既然形容飯店的設施,我的用字就選了後者。

既是記錄也是練習
語文這東西
真的沒有捷徑的確是,以前在校被逼造句、作文,沒人逼之後就退步很多。
