Great room near shuangliu airport. Skip the dinner
"The room was great. Nothing to complain about. The hotel banquet however was disappointing. I paid ¥105 for the dinner close to 8pm and the food was almost all gone. Drinks and dishes were left unfilled. Food was cold. Would not recommend the dinner service."
