This is what you would expect of a 3 star hotel in North America but much less expensive. On the plus side: the rooms are clean and large enough, the staff is courteous and helpful, the buffet brakfast (18 yuan) is more than ok, very convenient location with a bus stop just a few metres away, near the attractive new city museum and the sports stadium, very close to downtown. On the down side: bring some earplugs if you are a light sleeper as the walls are pretty thin. Also, no international or english news channels among their bouquet of tv stations. The furniture is basic but functional.
