The hotel is located in the old city center of Jinan. There is a large shopping mall(Wanda Plaza) rignt next to the hotel and it is not too far from the central train station. It is a prime location in Jinan, so it is very convenient for business. But it is a bit far away from the fast train station, so if you are traveling by fast train, it may not be the best location. The hotel. The hotel room was a bit old, but it was very clean and well managed. The hotel also has a fitness club, sauna and a swimming pool. You can observe the city while swimming in the pool, but there were people smoking in the pool area, so if you don't like such environment, you may not like the hotel too much. But I feel this hotel is a good choice for business purposes.
The staff at the hotel were fantastic. The food was very good and the location was great. On my first morning at breakfast, the dining room manager said I looked a little tired and I told him that my room was very warm and I did not sleep well. He brought me a coffee and reported my information to the front desk. The thermostat could not be changed in the room and temperature could not be adjusted so the room was quite warm. When I checked at the front, they had informed me that the manager of the dining room had reported the concern and they could move my room which I decided not to do, so they then brought a fan and opened one of the windows to help. The staff was very kind working hard to make my stay comfortable, the location was great, gym was good, food was great and staff was very attentive. The general manager Neil Li was very attentive and checked in on my stay as well which I appreciated too.
