Hotel was ok. The set up there was confusing. Same property has Holiday Inn East & West, Holiday Inn Express and Crowne Plaza. It's like whichever property you walk in to check in will honor your reservation.

But the room was good, breakfast was ok, (at Crowne Plaza) service was adequate. If you have to go to Zhengzhou, any of these properties are fine. FYI: Lots of US families there to adopt Chinese children. Seemed kind of nice...

This Holiday Inn shares it's location with Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn Express. The Holiday Inn staff at reception have a trouble with English but they call on Marcy from Crowne Plaza with any problems and she is a lovely person, nothing too much trouble. The HI is a bit like a mausoleum as there isn't much happening there, it is linked by internal passage to Crowne Plaza where all the restaurants,gym and pool are. Rooms are OK. Not huge but adequate and the bathroom although small was nice and clean. All the usual amenities. Weather was awful while we were there so can't say much about the immediate surroundings.

This hotel is adjacent to two of their group hotels - Holiday Inn express and the Crowne Plaza; a little confusing at the start.....East wing, west wing...but once you settle down, you know that you are at home.

Past-thru for one night on biz. Safe summary is property & staff satisfied all the basics: clean, decently appointed & up-to-date rooms, good restaurant for dinner & breakfast. Spicy Sichuan/Szechuan-style (chicken, pork, hot&sour soup) dinner was superb for my picky American tastes! [photos] Staff very friendly with more than enough English to work. One sad/funny: both goldfish belly-up in bowl at elevator lobby on 3rd floor in evening. Clean bowl without fish next morning. NOTE: room thermostats mere props! Room temp controlled by staff. Room began to cool only after my Chinese biz partner called front desk. Hotel arranged good, private car ride to airport for RMB50...nice.
