So, I had to stay in this place because the Marriot 30 minutes away somehow didn’t accept foreigners. I was impressed by the classic Chinese facade and grand lobby. The room looked nice enough as well. It also featured a lackluster AC with a control unit that hung off the wall and beeped every two minutes. Plus a very bright corridor light that could not be turned off. Couldn’t sleep until I moved to the floor so the bed could block the light. As we were checking in, processing my passport was taking the typical long time, and since there was a large group behind us, we kindly said we’ll pick up the passport later so they could get taken care of. Eventually, they called the room and told my wife they had some additional questions, so she went down for the interrogation. Then, when I went down to explore, I was beckoned over to answer questions such as the nature and location of my work, why I was in the town, etc. THEN, someone come to the room (10pm by this time) and interrogated my wife about our kids! I know the Chinese guests did not go through this level of scrutiny. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Also, the shower flooded in the morning and the closet was broken too. Not recommended
