standard old hotel on the average.
nice reception. room and facility, just old.

Following check-in at the clean and well lit lobby I was directed to my room - a dark, musty smelling cave complete with a stained, high mileage carpet.
Use of my laptop for internet access was precluded by the hard wired computer on the desk - which by the way, was incapable of accessing the internet.
Upon entering the dining area, I was immediately greeted by stained and worn carpeting throughout the entire expanse (notice a pattern here?). The breakfast and dinner buffets were not much better than OK. Some of the food items appeared dried-out or over cooked, thus, giving me the impression food was being recycled from one dinner to the next. The a la cart menu is grossly overpriced for the fare being served.
Housekeeping was freely accessing my room despite the "Do Not Disturb" sign left posted on my door.
I was awakened about 3 am every morning due to a brief loss of power in the hotel (it was shutting off my breathing machine) . In fact, the desk staff had to hand write an invoice at check-out time because the printer was inoperable (power outage).
I've stayed at many hotels over the last 10 year sin China, S. Korea and Japan. Other than the roach hotel I stayed at in Zhuhai last year, this is the worst.

Well, I usually book an hotel, twice a week in 2 different cities of China because of business and I can tell you: Ramada Plaza is a chinese "western" hotel which advertise the fact that they are a 5 stars plaza (I'm wondering how) but definitely no more than 3 stars regarding the western standard: old fashioned, bathroom of the 80s, school nearby + bad windows = wake up early in the morning. Staff was pleasant though. Make your choice!

I stayed 2 nights at this hotel on a brief stopover at Fuzhou. It was one of the few quality chains in the city. The hotel was on the North ring road some distance from downtown and it was frequented mainly by the business crowd. While it was supposed to be a modern hotel, the hotel had a little tired and dated look inside, from the outside it was an impressive high rise, like one of the hundred impressive high rises in the city. It turned out that it was the first joint venture internatinal hotel in the city so could do with some refurbishing. Nevertheless, the rooms were large and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was a mixture of oriental and occidental fare. I must say that I was very thankful to the hotel check-in staff. I arrived at 9am and was promptly given an available room on exec floor because none of deluxe rooms were available. None of "our check-in time is 3pm" attitute that sometimes I encountered elsewhere. Full marks !

I mentioned that the hotel in on the North part of the city. Be aware that Fuzhou airport is one of those airports in China that is very far away from downtown. Most info sites say the airport is some 40km Southeast from the city, probably meanining from the edge of the city ! It is actually some 50-55km to the city centre and some 55-60km to the hotel. It will take at least 1 hr by taxi off peak ! So if time is precious to you, look for a downtown hotel or a hotel in the Southeast zone of the city.
