Staying at this hotel, like living in a sun-dried bed
Taiyuan's winter always takes a wet and cold, and can get into the bones. This time on a business trip, I dragged my suitcase and walked in the dusk, hoping that I could have a clean and warm place to settle down. Pushing open the hotel glass door moment, a mixed with a faint lemon fragrance of warmth came, only to be cold wind to tighten the nerves, suddenly loose.
The first impression of goodwill comes from the feet. The marble floor of the lobby is light, but there is no sense of wetness. You can see the cleaning aunt not far away, quietly pushing the static dust mop, and maintaining the light in circles. Walking to the front desk, the staff's smile was as warm as the ”welcome home” greeting. The room card handed in was installed in the independent disinfected card set. This detail made me feel moved.
What really surprised me was the room. I have a kind of near-harsh care about hygiene, and I subconsciously check the corners first after entering the house. Fingers crossed the right corner of the TV cabinet, the groove of the window sill, and the gap of the remote control, but I couldn't find a trace of dust. The bathroom is the key ”assessment area”, the glass of the white porcelain basin and shower room is bright, and there are no disturbing water stains or hair. What reassures me most is the toilet, which is not only clean on the outside, but also has a uniform white luster on the inside, which is obviously through a strict disinfection process. The bedding is the most honest. When I lie on it, the fluffy quilt emits a unique, dry and soft smell after the sun. There is no trace of the longitude and latitude of the pillowcase and the sheets. That night was the most reliable sleep I had when I was on a business trip.
Service is another kind of warmth, delicate and homely. At breakfast, the waiter will remember that you drank soy milk yesterday, and asked softly ”Is it still hot today, can I add sugar to you?”; when I came back at night, I found an extra blanket. It turned out that the cleaning sister saw the weather forecast and said that the temperature was cooled, and it was silently added. Their good, not trained alienation polite, but like the careful care of neighbors, do not disturb, but always just happen when needed.
It rained lightly on the day of leaving the store. The front desk brother handed over an umbrella and smiled and said, ”Take it, use it on the road.” When the car left, he looked back and the building was lighted with a gentle light in the winter rain. It may not have luxurious decoration, but with full clean and simple care, a normal trip, into the winter ironing body and mind warm home. This is probably the most realistic look of ”home away from home” - let you feel that this temporary place is more trustworthy and nostalgic than you think.
