Yuelai Garden Hotel — Hotel in Dongguan

I have now stayed at this hotel many times and it is now starting to employ people that speak English I visit on business 3-4 times a year and by Chinese standards this hotel is one of the better ones.||||The issues start at night if you have a problem (sometimes the electrics can be an issue) and trying to find someone that can speak English. This is starting to change now and for the better. The food in Dongguan is amazing if you know where to eat and if you love Chinese food. The hotel is on a main round junction and the Chinese motorist is in the top ten for the worst in the world. They do not stop at red lights and think you are a valid target if you are on a zebra crossing so be aware of your surroundings if you decide to walk out.||||Behind the hotel they have now built a tradition Chinese village and a pagoda and they have done a great job and it worth seeing if you get the time. This is not a holiday hotel but a good one to use if you are on business.||||They have just invested in the gym and it is probably one of the better gyms in China and it is well...

The hotel is old. (Some site says this is built in 2007. No way. 1987, may be.) The rooms are dirty. There were mildew in the shower and window flame. The window flame is covered by dust that probably accumulated by months. Dirt on the carpet. Non-Smoking room smells like someone just smoked here. Tech is out of date. There is a WIFI Router on the table. ||||The mini-fridge is dirty and had 2 can of Coke in there. The disposable slippers, although inside plastic bag, looked used. (The bottle looked gray.)||||The lobby was dark, only 2 people working there. They could only speak English in single word. (When asked for credit card for damage deposit, the guy behind the counter said "deposit".) The décor were so out of date. There are no sign of other customers around. People told me their buffet is cheap. I would not want to eat any buffet from places that has no traffic. ||||I would not recommend this hotel for any...

The Room is big enough and the bed is comfortable. It provides a decent price. I was staying in 25th floor where the view was good through the window wall. However, the location was fairly isolated from the downtown. According to local people, they made a hotel in the unmanned ground. I ate dinner in the hotel restaurant twice in my 4 nights staying because there is no restaurant outside of the hotel.Nevertheless, you hardly experience such excellent facilities in your room with a 350RMB. You can visit the massage shop in a basement to relax. It also provides a foot massage but also will offer you a special service with more payment. Next time I visit Dongguan, I will stay in Dongcheng Area where there are lots of restaurant accessible and bars available next...
