I have stayed at this hotel a lot over the past three years, usually 2 - 3 nights at a time. While it isnt the newest hotel around, I like the location and the fact that a lot of the staff can understand english. Having stayed at a hotel near by where nobody spoke english, this is the only pre-requisite for a hotel in China.
The rooms are old, fairly dated and need some attention, but they have a comfortable bed, a shower that works and plenty of space. The One Bedroom suite is very big and cheap at around AUD$100 per night which includes breakfast, in room broadband and club lounge. I spend all day visting suppliers, so am only at the hotel to sleep. The hotel breakfast is ok, a fairly extensive buffet selection.
There is a shopping centre next to the hotel and plenty of shopping across the road. A McDonalds a couple of minutes away for those that need their fix. I feel comfortable walking around the area at night as most people seem fairly friendly. You even get the odd 'hello' from the locals.
If you are visting factories in the Longjiang, Lecong or Leliu area I have found that this is a good base. The traffic can be horrendous so a 20 minute trip to Longjiang can turn into one hour. If you are travelling from Hong Kong, the 'Shunde' ferry from the China Ferry Terminal in Kowloon is the way to go. There is a free shuttle bus from the port at Shunde to the hotel.
Overall, a good basic and cheap hotel that has everything you need.

i have been in this hotel twice. Stayed for at least 19days in each event. The hotel is good. Very near to stores and good food.

I wonder why the lounge food is so small with very minimum selections during happy hour.

The last thing that i dont like is that the hotel dont have a loyalty rewards points. No shave in the bathroom and no cotton buds.. :(

We flew from Florida to China and this was our first stop. I found the staff very helpful and didn't notice any problems with communication in Southern American English. We had one dinner the first night and being tired from a long trip and the first experience with real Chinese food, I can't judge. We had the breakfast buffet every morning and really enjoyed that. It was part of our tour package. I found the staff very helpful. One comment that says more about my inexperience than the staff. At dinner I asked about coffee, I was brought a cup of bad instant coffee and charged 30RMB. All the hotels we stayed in during our trip had hot water in the rooms and I brought coffee singles, so for the rest of the trip, I made my own coffee. All the hotels did have drinkable coffee at breakfast.

I have been disappointed about this stay. It was extremely cold in the room, not only mine but also the one of my colleagues. Air con on heating and max temperature but it didnt help. It was cold outside too so I have been going around during 3 days with my winter jacket day and night. Otherwise room is spacious, basically good hotel. Breakfast is ok.
