The View Changbai Mountain - MGallery

Staff are all welcoming. A lady arranged birthday cake for my 7-year son and kindly let us use the 5th floor lounge. The chef was always happy to prepare special breakfast food for me as asked. And Xiao Tang was always ready to get me some more coffee. The view from the pool was amazing!

I was expected something similar with Banyan Tree before check-in since all the promotion said it's "gallery" series and the first one in China, etc. But still can find some facility old or with stain. The expectation was soon revised after I visited the washroom near Canteen --so cold but our room is, and is always warm. So somehow I feel the investment on facilities is still perceivable. View is great and the hotspring is the highlight. The whole resort area is still under development so not so many shops, bars and restaurant. The food and drinks mostly rely on hotel but the hotel couldn't provide coffee, or, to be more accurate, only provided mocha in capsule. Luckily, it's Xmas season and hotel provides mulled wine which was a pleasant surprise! The service was warm, considerate and in time. Though some junior staff were a little bit unfamiliar but I could tell they were trying their best and they were improving fast after several crowds moved in and out.
