"Pros:
Great location, right next to Tianyi Square and Chenghuang Temple. Everything you need for dining, entertainment, and shopping is within easy reach.
Cons:
1. Newly renovated, and it shows – in a bad way. The moment you walk in, you're hit with a blast of cheap perfume that's overpowering.
2. My room had an 'inner window.' What does that mean? It means when you open the window, you're looking right into the shopping mall. I even took a picture of my room's window from the mall side (see photo).
3. The room was stifling. The only option was to use the air conditioning, but at this time of year, it only blows hot air. The room temperature was stuck at 27 degrees Celsius and couldn't be adjusted, as it's controlled by the mall's central air conditioning system. In March, it was so hot I was in shorts! I had to ask for a fan and open the window to cool down. But opening the window meant sacrificing privacy (anyone in the mall could see in) and enduring the mall noise – a vicious cycle. I've attached a photo of the hotel room; please pay close attention to the room number when booking.
4. Finding live TV channels on the TV was a nightmare. It was buried deep within some video streaming app. It took me at least 20 minutes to find the entrance to regular TV.
5. The ceiling height is quite low. I'm 1.72m tall, and I can touch the ceiling by just raising my hand and tiptoeing a little, which felt a bit claustrophobic.
6. Compared to hotels like All Seasons, Atour, or Holiday Inn, the price is on the higher side, and there's nothing particularly impressive about it.
7. Breakfast was mediocre. Limited selection, and the wontons I ordered only had a few tiny pieces, mostly wrapper with a fingernail-sized amount of filling.
As someone who spends over 200 nights a year in hotels, I strongly advise anyone considering this place to seriously weigh my experiences above."
