My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although cozy, had a smoking smell due to smoking being allowed in Building 2. The service, while somewhat useful, lacked warmth and friendliness. On the bright side, the location was very convenient being near the Beijing metro stations. The dining experience offered a nice range of Chinese and Western food but was a bit on the expensive side. The facilities were satisfactory, though not exceptional.

The hotel had spacious rooms with a big bed, sofa, two easy chairs, plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space, desk, work-chair, and TV. However, the size of the rooms was a bit small compared to other hotels in Jiande and Hangzhou.

The hotel's rooms, rated at 3-star quality at best, appeared tired, especially the bathrooms. Unfortunately, our complaints about the room conditions were not taken seriously, likely due to poor customer service attributed to the government ownership. Building 2 allowed smoking, leading to some unpleasant odors.
