This hotel, priced around 500 RMB during the off-season, can be compared to a Ji Hotel, as its peak season rates (which are more than double) aren't really a fair comparison. Its location is excellent for those attending conferences at the Exhibition Center, and it's also very close to New World Department Store, but quite a distance from the beach.
Since this hotel is a combination of two (business and premier), it's very large. The advantage of its size is that communal facilities are extensive – for example, the laundry room and gym are spacious with plenty of equipment. The breakfast restaurant facilities and variety of breakfast options are also quite good. However, with more people come drawbacks; during peak hours, the elevators are incredibly slow, breakfast gets very crowded, and there's often a queue for the coffee machine.
The rooms are small, even smaller than those at a Ji Hotel. The space around the bed, in particular, is very cramped, making it impossible to place luggage there; it has to go in the hallway by the entrance. The wardrobe isn't large, but that's not a major issue. However, the hanging rod is unusually high – even at 175cm, I found it a bit difficult to reach. The bathroom is also tiny, but thankfully, there's ample space above the sink for toiletries and makeup. Overall cleanliness is decent.
Other minor issues include mosquitoes at night. On check-out day, one elevator was out of order. And the breakfast taste was truly subpar; I honestly couldn't find anything enjoyable to eat.
Several colleagues who stayed at three different hotels this time all had negative feedback, which felt a bit disappointing for the standard one would expect from the second-largest city in a developed country.
