Jinling Liyang Palace — Hotel in Changzhou

I do not write a review each time I come here, but decided to update my former review. This is my 5th visit since I last posted inJuly 2010. On this trip, I have used the 2nd floor restaurant and the fitness club. I also attended a wedding in the hotel. They did a great job in all these areas. The fitness facilities includes a pool, which I must admit I did not use this time. But I did use the treadmills and machines in the small gym. Not as fancy as the gyms in some of the 5 star hotels in Shanghai, but certainly adequate and the staff were very helpful. The food here is always good and presentation was wonderful. There is also a popular bar in the hotel, although I had no occasion to use it this trip. In addition, some evenings, there is live piano music in the lobby bar. Very pleasant place to while away an hour or so with business colleagues.||||The carpets had been shampooed since my last visit and that was good to see. I generally stay on the non-smoking floor and had a room that I stayed in before. King size bed with wonderful European style bedding, lots of towels and a great desk for working at late in the evening.||Shopping is less than a block away, and soon a Walmart will open directly across the street. For those who are not big on Chinese food, it will contain a food court with some western fast food chains in it - McDonald's, KFC, etc. Also, Pizza Hut is a block away. Personally, I eat all the Chinese food that I can when here, since it is so much more delicious than Chinese food in western restaurants. Also, about 3 blocks walk, less than 5 minutes walk, is Gua Gua Jiao, a wonderful Schzuen(sp?) restaurant. The hot pot there is unlike any I have had anywhere else and it is sumptuous. If you are with Chinese speaking people, ask them to take you there. Otherwise, message me privately and I will send a receipt with the itemized hot pot ingredients that I prefer.

I stayed tin the hotel for 2 long weeks in April 20015.||The employees try to do their best. ||The rooms are quiet and clean. You have wifi, but you will notice that you are fare away from everything. You can enter the website of your e-mail-provider, but even when you send out e-mails you will see, the e-mail won't be delivered. At least not to the intented person. Even though you get an OK.|In the elevator you can see that the Hotel has KTV, Bar, Fitness center..... But better don't try to get there. You will find yourself in a 2 floor building site, which will never be finished. |The breakfast is quite OK, they even offer a choice of "western" breakfast. The mainly chinese guest have obviously no problem with the "no smoking"-signs in the breakfast room, they just ignore it. So, you are sitting there, try to enjoy your breakfast and some guys next to you are smoking their incredibly stinky cigarrettes. ||If you are lucky, you can get a kind of beer in the early evening in that hotel.||Entertainment? Weekend activities? -...
