The location is good; right off bus line 31, walking distance to West Lake and beautiful views. One staff person spoke English. The others who didn’t acted professionally but didn’t make any effort to communicate in either Mandarin or English.
The walls in the room were chipped away and had mold growing on them. We didn’t have any water available until midnight, and then it took time for hot water to be available. We arrived at 5 pm and they said our room wasn’t ready, we insisted and they allowed us to check in. Posted check in time is 3pm. The lobby bar has really limited choices. Make sure you show up for breakfast we’ll before the ending time as they take everything down right at 9:30. Food past 9:00 was cool and dried up. Our room keys failed several times and we had to reprogram them every time we returned from an outing. Whenever we called the front desk, they would hang up without saying anything and then have someone who spoke English call back.
Overall, this property is okay. Perhaps a little overpriced for the quality and service. But the neighborhood and convenience to the area is worth it.
