Normally, I wouldn't rate hotels this highly. But I felt this place was quite worth the rating given the price. On to the review.
Location: It's very close to the high speed rail station. Might be tricky to find, but there are signs from the exit. Just go towards the main entrance/exit if you are arriving via high speed rail. It's quite nice inside. Maybe the equivalent of a $250~$300/night hotel in USA. Damn people still smoked inside this building, though I believe it should have been non-smoking. Room: We were on the 51st floor. The view was great. Very clean and looks very new. We got a large, spacious room. The bathroom was quite nice and also VERY spacious. There was a big soaking tub. USB ports sprinkled throughout. Fridge worked flawlessly. Service: Quite good. We wanted to go to the top floor, the executive floor to check out the view, but we didn't "qualify" for it. However, the staff was nice enough to punch us up to that floor via the elevator. Entire staff was very polite and very helpful. Helped us with luggage when we left. Facilities: Other than our room and the executive lounge on the top floor, we didn't use the facilities. However, the overall vibe was nice and classy but not pretentious. Surrounding area: Since the high speed rail station is nearby, there is a very large food court area. It's not a fast food court. There were some cheaper eats options for sure, but there are also several sit down places where you could spend some time to enjoy your meal and relax. Overall, if I needed to stay for a week, I would PROBABLY find somewhere a bit cheaper. For us, it was about $132 USD per night. But we were using it as a transit stop before going to Shenzhen airport the next day, so one day was fine. I think if you need somewhere for a week or longer, I would spend about $100 USD/night if you like nicer facilities. Likely won't be quite as nice as Pullman, but if you go for the $50$60 USD per night places (360450 yuan per night), then they almost certainly won't be anywhere near as nice. It's a pretty big difference. A few days before, we stayed at the Ferris, which was also nearby. It's about $50/night, and of course, Pullman is more than double Ferris. However, the difference is NIGHT AND DAY. But if you have kids, then you know it's going to cost you anyways, and w/ Pullman, you get a nice space for the kids too. ...

Read moreI was a walk in here, I actually wasn't sure if I would get a room. However, the walk in rate I was given was like 966~ RMB, and when I look at the online prices, I see that this is actually a little lower than the listed prices on the website, so I feel like I got a pretty good deal. I think it was a king room, not including breakfast.||This hotel overall has everything you could probably want, though the main appeal is the fact that it's close to the railway station. The railway station is actually not close to the city center or anything, so in order to get there you'll probably have to take the subway, which can be a little annoying, but that's not the hotels fault. Nearby there is a small mall which is kind of part of the railway station and the subway, but it doesn't have a whole lot, just a few restaurants and like some apparel stores. ||The hotel has a good staff, pretty decent amenities, and fairly convenient location. I used the fitness center when I was here actually, so I can attest that it's pretty nice. I think that's about all I'd have to stay about this place. While I'm not sure if I'd come again, I think I definitely would if I had a trip departing from the railway station, since this place...
