I declare this to be the hotel with the best value for money in all of Yantai

It was only after arriving in Yantai that I realized the best hotel in Yantai should be the Marriott, followed by the Sheraton and Hilton. There are also some other good hotels. If you're traveling as a couple, you can directly choose the Marriott. Since we were traveling with a child, we had to choose between the Sheraton and Hilton because they are close to the beach and sea. The Hilton requires crossing a road to get to the beach, and there is a popular bridge nearby that looks beautiful at night. The Sheraton, on the other hand, is right next to the beach and sea as soon as you step out! Our son loves playing in the sand and enjoys the seaside, so we ultimately chose the Sheraton. The hotel service is excellent. They called in advance to ask about our preferences and needs. As a top-tier Ctrip member, we got a room upgrade upon arrival. It seems being a top-tier Ctrip member is quite beneficial. The room isn't very large, but it has a direct view of the sea and is decorated in warm tones, making it very cozy. The decor looks a bit dated now, but it was probably one of the best in the area when it was newly renovated. The details are quite thoughtful— The shampoo, shower gel, and conditioner are fixed on the wall for easy access. Additionally, I have to mention that any hotel that provides lotion gets high marks from me! There is a steam iron and ironing board, so you don't need to borrow an iron; you can do it right in your room! Since we booked for two days, a staff member asked in the morning if we had any laundry and what time would be convenient for room cleaning. Speed of service: We visited the Zhangyu Wine Culture Museum and bought some wine, so we needed wine glasses. After calling the front desk, they delivered them within a few minutes! Very fast service! Booking a room includes a breakfast buffet. The ingredients are fresh, and the food tastes good. Yantai is famous for its apples, so I specifically took some, and they were delicious. The fried noodles, tofu pudding, stir-fried dishes, and bread were all tasty 😋. The service is excellent; they ask about your experience and help you get coffee, etc. There are seats by the sea in the restaurant, so you can enjoy the view while having breakfast at a leisurely pace. We didn't book a children's room, which includes an extra tent. We brought our own tent, and our child was very happy playing in it for a while. We saved 200 yuan.
