Hilton Garden Inn Chengdu Huayang — Hotel in Chengdu

I chose this hotel because of a great deal with Hilton Honours points. It is clean and well appointed. The staff are very helpful. I couldn't work out why this hotel has been located where it is. Even the Global Centre is quite a long way away. I found it difficult to get a taxi one night. So, if you want to see the old sights, you are a long way away.||||I must complement one staff member (whose name I can't remember) for looking out for me.

Smoking in public places, such as the spa and near the gym. |2. Spa service. We signed up for a 90 min massage and received 70 mins. Although they made it up the next day after I expressed my concerns to the manager, the atmosphere was not the top rated Hilton standard. People were smoking in the waiting area and the entire floor was filled with unpleasant odors. ||Other than the above, the hotel is near shopping centers and not far to Emei Mountain and it is very inexpensive to stay at...
