Four Points by Sheraton Xi'an High-tech Zone

Stayed here as it had close access to a school where i had meetings. There is nothing much around but metro line 6 is by the hotel giving access to the main city attractions. Room clean, service good, breakfast fine. Room temperature arguably a little too warm but all in a good hotel. Lots of consruction in the area which suggests it will become a busier area in years to come.

Nice and comfortable hotel. Air conditioner kept the room comfy. HDMI ports were turned off on the TV, but after a call to the front desk, they sent a tech to enter the password on the tv to allow HDMI connections. The restaurant was okay but not the service. People seemed confused. Even when I tried to use Chinese, it didn't help (I can order fine in Shanghai, but I lack the northern accent). And instead of just giving me a good menu, they had 3 different people come to me. The bar downstairs was often not staffed and they didn't have cold drinks. No cold beer. Warm beer with ice in it. Was there for 4 nights... Only once was there cold beer, and that's when other foreigners told them to put the beer in the refrigerator.... And it ran out. Location is middle of nowhere. They are building up the area, but currently... Nothing. Can't walk anywhere to get cold beer or whiskey. No easy late night delivery. The kitchen closes at around 10pm, so if no food by then... Out of luck. It would be nice if they had a 24 hour menu, even if just dumplings or instant ramen. Nothing fancy, but the ability to get food later in the night would be nice. I think this hotel can succeed once the area surrounding it is built...also once it's staff is trained to a higher level. It's a new hotel and will take time... But just the simple act of having some cold beer in the refrigerator would be a great step forward.
