Ramada by Wyndham properties in Guangzhou

I booked a standard room with a partial tower view. While the tower view was a bit skewed, the location was still excellent, offering a beautiful view of the tower from the window. The room itself was very old and dated, with the chair armrests and door frames showing signs of dampness and peeling. There was also a noticeable odor on our floor as soon as the elevator doors opened. My friend booked a 'Shengmei' tower view room, and their tower view was perfectly centered, with the Canton Tower right in the middle of their window. Their room was newly renovated, and their floor smelled pleasant as soon as the elevator opened, a stark contrast to ours. If the price difference isn't significant, I'd highly recommend booking a newly renovated room with 'Shengmei' in its name.

Before booking, I was worried that a hotel in an older business district would be dated, but my mind was completely changed after arriving. The room has been renovated; the walls and floors are very new, and the outlets are thoughtfully placed, with USB ports right by the bed, which is super convenient for charging phones. Right outside, there are various cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) and convenience stores, so you don't have to go far for food or essentials. Check-out was done in just a few minutes, very efficient. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights while I was in Knowledge City for a martial arts competition. The location was excellent. Parking was easy, and it was also conveniently close to the subway station with plenty of dining options nearby. The hotel had a self-service computer and printer at the front desk, which was really convenient for those of us who need to work late and print things out. This seems to be set up as a business hotel, so it's not luxurious, but it's probably one of the better options in the Knowledge City area.
