(1 review) 部屋は広く設備はとても良かったです。部屋にはフルーツのサービスがありました。残念だったのは、夜寝ていたらチェックインした他の客が部屋に入ってきました。フロントが誤って我々が使用している部屋のカードキーを発行してしまったようです。その時は内側からロックするのを忘れていたためとても驚きました。これからは必ず内側からのロックを忘れないようにしたいと思います。なお、しばらくしてフロントの方が部屋に訪れ謝罪がありました。おかげで２回起こされました。 Reviewed on 26 Sept 2025 [](https://expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=02%2F04%2F2026&endDate=03%2F04%2F2026&selected=101450618&PinnedHotelID=101450618&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=6141465) ### La Quinta By Wyndham Turpan Gaochang No 1555 East Side of Gaochang, North Road Turpan Xinjiang £46 23 Mar - 24 Mar includes taxes & fees Stay at this hotel in Turpan.
