Came here for business at a nearby chemical plant. The staffs English is not the greatest but they are very friendly. Check in and check out was easy. If they get busy they immediately call for extra desk people. They always had an English speaker nearby. |The breakfast was pretty good. An English breakfast mixed with a typical Chinese one. All buffet style. Fried eggs can be had if asked for, because the lady who prepares the noodle bowls in the corner uses them. Otherwise it’s boiled eggs on the buffet. Toast, coffee, tea. Highly recommend the steamed buns. Fruit. And the usuals. |The laundry is free. Whether you use their machines or have them do it. It’s free.|My company gave me a taxi business card to call. The staff called them everyday for me, which is good because the driver didn’t speak English. In fact most of nantong doesn’t .|Room was clean and nice. Some people car about how recently rooms have been redone.... I’d say this hotel probably hasn’t been renovated in awhile. But it was very clean. The room was cleaned everyday. They even accommodate the fact that o worked at night and slept during the day .|My company has had this hotel a lot. Great price.|Across and down the street are MANY places to eat . Nearby by ones have English on the menu. Further away is a 50/50 chance. I ate at a few that didn’t but the staff tried real hard to help you .|In all I can’t think of any thing bad. All of China is under construction so at night you can hear some noise but it never woke me. When I slept in the day it was very noisy outside in the street, but it wasn’t the...
Read morei'm really disappointed of this hotel for many reasons as follows: 1- location outside nantong almost half hour by car it's xinghu! 2- staff not speak english only manager and somtimes he is duty finish at night. 3- room was dirty when check in espically bed comfort and sheet and pillow cases, house keeping not clean them only i need ask and seems they lazy to do their job. indeed, sometimes i find they forgot put tooth brush, shaving kit, complimentary water, facial tissues washing soap, always need call front desk for this!!! also water kettle was plastic not metal which make terrible smell when i use it to boil water and talk manager he bring me staff metal water kettle. last thing regard room there is no sign for clean up my room so i must call when in or tell front disk when out. 4- restaurant is not better than house keeping, breakfast buffet food is cold no heaters under buffet set. and it's same every day, as well for lunch and dinner, i always eat out and wish not pay for free breakfast room wish if only room no breakfast.
i stay chinese 3 star hotels better than this one, and it shouldn't be because this is famous chain hotel, so sad i go through this, don't take a chance i wouldn't...
Read moreArriving at the hotel, I was concerned that it would just be a repackaged Chinese chain hotel (like an Ibis in Hangzhou that I recently visited). However, that was not the case, and I felt like I was actually staying at an IHG property. ||||The room was spacious, with a comfortable bed. It had a decent working desk with a reasonably comfortable chair, which as a business traveler I appreciate. The large shower was also appreciated, as was the slightly funky decor, which helped imprint the room with some international flair.||||Staff diligently expressed appreciation for my loyalty to the IHG brand, and extended the same courtesies (daily welcome drink; late checkout) to all persons in our party - which again I greatly appreciated.||||The location was not great; the neighborhood is humdrum, with lackluster dining options. Then again, Nantong did not appear to have any areas that were much better; if desperate, take a taxi to the mall with the Starbucks and Burger King.||||Finally, I should note that one of my colleagues availed himself of the laundry service, and it did not arrive at the promised time (but luckily was there...
