* I was unimpressed with the Peking Hotel's hospitality *
Lazy. Rude. Unfriendly.

My visit to the Peking was a disappointment. They have such an interesting, regal building. It gave me high expectations. Inside I quickly realized I was in an unfriendly place.

At the front desk, they have a soviet mentality. "Hey desk ladies, I'm real sorry I interrupted your television show!"

Would they show me any rooms? Of course not. I'd have to come back on Monday and talk with the administrator. I'm familiar with this blow off technique, and I don't bother coming back to these places. It's a shame. Three lazy people watching TV and nobody wanted to break away from the set and show me some rooms.

The hotel was created in 1956. Just three floors of this large building have hotel rooms. They told me a renovation is underway. The lobby area had been recently renovated. The fish tank behind the lobby desk was perfectly clean. I liked to see that. They said their renovated floor has air conditioned rooms. Rooms are currently priced between 1800 and 7500 rubles.

While looking around on the ground floor I began to enter an oriental-themed restaurant and a goon doorman stepped immediately in front of me so that there was almost chest to chest contact (a chest thump). To me, this was highly offensive. The problem in his mind was that I still had my coat on. (So what! The restaurant was empty!) That confrontation was inappropriate, unacceptable and rude. I'm very unimpressed with the hospitality at the Hotel Peking.
