Some others travellers report a lot of Chinese guests, yes this seemed to be true when we stayed but this didn't bother us as we were in china! There are nicer hotels nearer to the airport such as the ramada but you will pay more for them. For us this hotel was clean with pleasant staff at a...

The room I got was so warm (outside temperature was 34 degrees) and inside it was more than 30. Setting the air-condition at max cooling, still it took 2 hours until I fell a sleep. Very noisy breakfast with almost only chinese food was OK, but not more than so. Very old, no air-condition, shuttle but to the airport was a disappointment in this summer temperature. I am not sure I come back; but for a bed for the...
