I spent 4 nights w/ my family here in early July 2010. I found the hotel to be very nice w/ a staff that was responsive to any requests. We also ate breakfast at the restaurant at the hotel as well as dinner on 2 occasions. The food was good w/ a combination of western and traditional chinese food. From an overall standpoint the following are the pros and cons....
Pros....
1) Nice comfortable rooms
2) Very responsive staff
3) Great value vs the Sheraton and Hojo in Gyuijang
Cons.....
1) Smoke, smoke and more smoke. One of the downsides to visiting China is the amount of people that smoke. This was a problem in the hotel restaurant, lounge area and even the elevators (they have up no smoking signs in the elevators). I do want to add that this problem is not unique to this hotel as it is an issue in every hotel I have been to in China. I also went into the Guiyang Sheraton lobby and there were numerous people smoking there as well.
2) The hotel had the odd practice of turning off the AC at 2am in the morning if it rained outside (common thing in Guiyang)
3) There was major demolition going on at the building located next to the hotel. They seem to have minimized the dust, but it was a eye sore for the hotel.
I was very pleased w/ this hotel and would highly recommend it to folks. In comparison to the much higher priced Sheraton and Hojo in Guiyang, I would defintely go w/ this hotel.
