I’ll come back to stay in Qingdao Westin again.
Pros:

I love my stay in The Westin Qingdao, great location close to public transport and shopping centre, easy walk to the seaside. I lost my stuff behind and checked out this morning, Lily from the customer service called me and arrange post of my bracelet to me.

Cons:

I personally think the hotel accommodation rate is of good value for the money I paid. There’s nothing I dislike so far.

Wonderful upgrade, great breakfast, and excellent value
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at The Westin Qingdao.

The location is excellent. The hotel is right next to May Fourth Square and MixC Qingdao (Wanxiangcheng), so it was very convenient to walk around, shop, or find restaurants nearby.

Even though I am a Marriott Gold member, the hotel kindly upgraded me to a larger room. I also received a room with a view overlooking the iconic sculpture at May Fourth Square, which made the stay even more memorable. The room itself was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained.

The breakfast was outstanding. honestly one of the best hotel breakfasts I have experienced. There was a wide variety of food, the quality was excellent, and everything tasted great.

I was also given complimentary lounge access, which allowed me to enjoy afternoon tea during my stay. It was a very nice addition and made the overall experience even better.

Another convenient aspect was how easy it was to receive deliveries. Food delivery arrived quickly, and the hotel staff were also helpful in receiving packages.

Overall, this hotel offers great quality and value. I would like to thank the staff for their warm hospitality and excellent service.

DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL
Pros:

BACKGROUND:
I specifically upgraded to the Executive Floor for our wedding anniversary celebration based on your website's assurance that:

1. Rooms on the executive floor were newly renovated
2. Executive Lounge access with premium amenities would be provided
3. This would meet Westin brand standards for a special occasion

The reality fell drastically short of these promises and Marriott Bonvoy standards.
CRITICAL SERVICE FAILURES:
1. MISREPRESENTATION OF ROOM CONDITION
I was explicitly told the Executive Floor rooms were "newly renovated." The room I received was extremely outdated and in no way reflected the renovation status promised during the upsell.
2. EXECUTIVE LOUNGE - UNACCEPTABLE STANDARDS
No breakfast service: The lounge opened at 12pm, unlike standard executive lounges across Marriott properties which serve breakfast
Inadequate supplies: The lounge ran out of wine glasses. When I attempted to use a champagne flute instead, it was visibly cracked, forcing me to drink red wine from a paper cup
This is completely unacceptable for a property charging premium rates for executive floor access

3. FOOD QUALITY & SAFETY CONCERNS

Breakfast area: Extremely disorganized and overcrowded, resembling "a zoo" rather than a premium hotel dining experience
Cross-contamination risk: Same tongs were used for both raw and cooked items - a serious food safety violation
Temperature control failure: Most items were not properly heated
Overall quality: Food quality was significantly below Westin standards
Room service failure: Club sandwich delivered on Jan 3rd was completely unacceptable [Photo attached]

4. FACILITY INFORMATION FAILURES

Unable to locate the Westin Heavenly Spa despite multiple inquiries
Gym staff provided incorrect directions
Lack of proper signage and staff knowledge of basic hotel facilities

5. STAFFING & COMMUNICATION DEFICIENCIES

Severe lack of English-speaking staff for an international luxury brand
Management was notably absent and unavailable throughout our stay
Unable to escalate concerns in real-time due to language barriers and management accessibility

Will be my top option to stay in TsingTao
Pros:

Huge room for a very affordable and reasonable price with impeccable location, right next to subway exit E and walking distance to huge shopping mall.
Food delivery can be sent directly to your room by robot with a phone call to the front desk.
Amenities were refilled each day including bath salt and bottled waters as well.
Bed is gigantic and comfortable.

Cons:

The water pressure for shower is very weak.
Hotel phone inside the room is confusing and difficult to use, had to use the phone on the office desk instead.
