Binzhou, Shandong hotel rooms at the Independent

"It does the job if you seek a place to overnight before an early flight. Shuttle (there is one, even if the booking websites do not stipulate) run every hour only on the hour. "

"We stayed here for business and were very pleased overall. The rooms were super nice and very clean. The breakfast was also very good, especially considering it only cost us $4 per day. There aren’t many options in the area, so that was the right spot. The staff in general provided great service, with one exception. When we needed a taxi to the airport, the man at the front desk who was supposed to help us wasn’t very helpful. According to our local translator, he was pushing a $100 USD ride while ignoring more affordable options or even two cars instead of one. He basically told us that if we wanted something else and, we’d have to figure it out on our own. Other than that, the rest of the staff were friendly and very helpful. Overall, it was a great stay, and I’d still recommend the hotel."
