We stayed at one of the K Hotels a few years back and were not impressed.  Earlier this year, they offered discounts for a new branch, K Hotels Tianjin, so we decided to give it one more try.  We booked a room on its website and received a confirmation email.  Then we asked a question through email but did not get any response.  We left a message on their website and still got no reply.  Unfortunately, there was a change of schedule and we had to cancel one night’s booking.  I ended up calling them, and a clerk said on the phone that I had to cancel all nights because that’s how the system was set up.  In other words, if we still wanted to stay at their hotel, we had to rebook the other nights.  But the rate had gone up like NT$600 higher per night.  I asked to speak to his supervisor, and after a couple of phone calls and conversations the problem was finally resolved.

柯達大飯店(台北天津)

幾年前住過柯達飯店，印象不太好。最近看到新的分館開張有優惠，想著再給它一次機會，如果還是不好就再也不住這家了。在官網上訂了房間，很快收到確認電郵。之後有個問題請教飯店，但電郵發出後石沈大海，透過官網上的「聯絡我們」，同樣毫無音訊，只好作罷。不巧我們的行程有更動，想要取消其中1天的訂房，接電話的先生說系統設定無法取消1天，必須整筆訂單取消。若仍想入住，其他幾日要重新訂房，否則建議去其他飯店。但當時房價每晚已多了600元，我當然不肯。結果我要求找主管，經過一番波折才解決了問題。

夏威夷自由行(8) -- 海勒卡拉國家公園(Haleakala NP)

                     到訪時間：Aug. 1992

夏威夷有2座國家公園，分別是位在大島的夏威夷火山國家公園，和位於 1992毛伊島的海勒卡拉國家公園。海勒卡拉在夏威夷語意即太陽之屋，所以許多遊客前往欣賞日出和日落的美景。公園佔地達3萬餘英畝，在毛伊島的地圖上佔了東南角一大塊。公園分成2區，西邊是峰頂區(Summit)，擁有美麗的火山口景觀；東邊靠海的則是雨林區(Kipahulu)。我們當年來訪時下榻Maui Islander，事隔多時，不知它是否仍然安在。為了寫這篇遊記翻查記錄，才發現我先生很多東西都保留著，連那時住的房號2331都寫了下來。
