good deal for the money. pool is very cold, but OK and no lower area for kids, so need to be supervised at all times. workout room is small but has everything needed. some works are going on right now (Jul09) but should be done soon. Street is off main road where plenty of buses go to train station, airport, etc. Street is very close to a Mosque and is a pretty ratty area, but else, close to main area. However, getting a taxi was a challenge as no taxis stop at hotel regularly. I had to go to main street with all my luggage and hail taxi by myself. Quite a challenge for a mom with a young kid! Breakfast OK, tried only Chinese one. Was medium in quality and taste, but you would not need to go anywhere else. They also have western breakfast, but did not try. Rooms were clean enough (could have been better, but good for China standards) and service good. No complaints. They let me check out later and reception spoke English well enough. Banks are close, as is shopping and very close to Phoenix and Horse gates. Internet worked great and was free.
Bathroom OK, a bit small, but well kept. Real bathtub!
