Gloria Plaza 10-15 years ago, used to be one of the top hotels in Shenyang. It's location across the major street from Shenyang North Train Station, makes it a convenient choice for business travelers. ||||It's been at least 6 years since I've last stayed at this hotel, this trip, for old time sake, I've decided to stay at Gloria Plaza。 Well, from the moment I walked in the lobby, the hotel is in serious need of update.
