Howard Johnson Meizhou, Staying 2 days during Chinese New Year, no working air conditioning in the room, breakfast buffet ran out of food at 9:30, also out of drinks before that. See attached pics. Yes we talked to staff about air conditioning and they were of very limited help, the pic. of the air conditioning was taken in the morning where any sunlight would not affect its ability to keep up in room. The hallways are cold so it makes you wonder why it does not work in the room(s). The buffet was basically a fight over food whenever they refilled some dish, I was ok with it, thinking I would just eat salad, but the Caesar dressing looked like and tasted like something that was produced by someone who never tasted salad dressing before. The hotel might be good for locals who have never stayed at a hotel and want to get away for the weekend, but if you are a normal business traveler with a basic expectations of getting what you have paid for, actually twice what you would normally pay during this time of the year go somewhere else. The room is/was very clean and the manager of the hotel was very kind...

Read more10 of us booked 5 rooms for 1 night at Howard Johnson Meizhou on 13th night and we are happy that we've chosen this hotel vs other recommendations that's closer to town centre. ||location : tho not in town centre this hotel faces a big open square with lots of restaurants and eateries, just next to and across the street. it's only a 10-15min drive to meizhouxi train station which is very convenient. ||rooms - room looks new and modern and is clean, comfortable with international TV channels. ||staff : that must be the best part of this hotel. we checked in with jadyn and grace and both were able to assist us with all our requests especially since we are a big group. next morning Grace was once again at the recept when we checked out, helping us and ensuring we get up our rental car and all is good. really appreciate this level of service from both of them and for this I will highly recommend this hotel for anyone...
