According to local police, the incident had taken place on Tuesday, and that the driver was a 28-year-old man, identified as Chen who had gotten into a fight with hotel staff over the loss of his laptop during his stay in the hotel.
No one was hurt in the incident, they said in the statement posted on their Weibo social media handle, further adding Chen had been held pending further investigation.
Hotel staff told AFP the laptop had been stolen and was found outside the hotel complex.
The car slammed into another set of doors before apparently heading for the exit, only to crash into a door frame and come to a halt.
Other people present and hotel staff screamed at the driver to get out of the car, banging on it and trying to break through a window in order to get the keys.
"Do you have any idea what you've done?" they can be heard shouting. "Are you crazy? Are you?''
