The property is one of the new “Self check in” environments. The lobby is nice. The cafe area is actually pretty nice. The rooms are sparse. There is no kettle to boil water which is a BIG PROBLEM in China. You don’t even JOKE about drinking Unboiled water there. The bed is a king sized bed, but it’s wedged in the room, and up against the window. If you had two people one would have to crawl across the bed to their side, and then they would be sleeping against the window. No bath tub. Just a shower and toilet. The sink is tiny. The food is a different story. It’s dreadful. Everything on the menu is microwave crap slapped on a plate. The breakfast is awful as well. About the only thing worth eating was the cold cereal.
