Stayed in this hotel for a total of two nights as part of the Travelsphere Discovrer China tour. I must admit, I wish I had written these reviews sooner - when you travel around that much in the space of two weeks, it becomes very disorientating and all the hotels seem to merge into one. It's only when something out... More

Had an executive room: was just fine. Service and other facilities far better than you'd get in North America for the price. Would stay again, no problems in recommending.
