Vendome East Inn

The free flow snack foods, although I don’t eat much.

The room we get was dark even I make a note and requested it earlier. And the staff confirmed me no problem. Carpet is too old. And the sink water is hard to control when u open it.

The staff was really nice. It was super close to the metro station and Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. There was a nice snack-bar area down the hall. Cable TV channels were good. A/C worked well.

They need to rip the carpet out of this hotel. That is what is causing the "smoke smell" in the rooms, and it is hard to keep clean. It makes the place look run-down. The walls are super thin, and I could hear somebody showering at 3 in the morning. The room overlooked a large street, which was noisy and busy until well into the night. The bed was really hard which surprised me... I wasn't expecting that. It was a "king size bed" but it seemed to be two rock-hard twin beds pushed together. The whole facility is a small, cramped "hotel" on the 7th and 8th floors of an office building. For the same money, you can find something more in line with that price point. I was expecting something a little swankier based on the pictures. Having said that, I always feel bad criticizing a place when the staff have been so nice.
