Dalian Hotels with Balcony

It's been a long time since I wrote a review, so long that I almost forgot I was a hotel professional by trade! I started as an intern and worked my way up to head of the front desk and marketing department, experiencing a lot along the way! Because I was rigorously trained and also faced many unreasonable challenges, I usually don't criticize people in this industry! For this trip, I chose a Japanese-style brand because we had stayed at one in another city and felt very comfortable. However, my stay in Shenyang made me decide I would never like this brand again! Later, I deliberated for a long time whether to stay at an InterContinental Hotels Group property or this brand, City Express, which I hadn't really tried in the south, when I got to Dalian. I chose City Express because it was closer to the sea! Of course, upon checking in, I did notice some issues. As a former hotel duty manager, I have a keen eye for detail, and I was quite disappointed at the time! When checking out, they asked for my feedback, and I mentioned a small point. Not for any other reason, but because I believe the good outweighs the bad, and I hoped they could improve. Afterwards, a young lady at the front desk sincerely apologized to me when I was leaving. At that moment, I didn't even think it was a problem, as I felt some minor issues were acceptable for the price. But she was still incredibly polite! This really reminded me of hotel staff from many years ago, because I haven't seen current employees be so humble in a long time! Many who clearly made mistakes often act self-righteous. To encounter such a conscientious young lady in this situation, I specifically wrote this long review, hoping to encourage the relevant staff at this hotel!

The service was great! A day before check-in, the staff contacted me to ask about my child's information and provided suitable slippers and other amenities. When we arrived, they quickly arranged for an extra pillow and blanket upon request. They also accommodated our late check-out. Although the facilities are a bit old and the summer premium was high, the balcony sea view was absolutely stunning and left us with wonderful memories. A quick tip: it's best to bring your own hairdryer (the hotel's is quite old) and shower slippers (they only provide disposable ones). If you plan on taking a bath, bring your own large bath liner (you can also order one via delivery once you're at the hotel). The main bed was very comfortable, but the sofa bed was not.

Facilities: The in-room amenities are definitely up to standard. The room is quite spacious, and since it's an apartment hotel, it comes with a full range of appliances. I didn't get to try the fitness facilities. Parking is paid, but there are plenty of spaces available. Cleanliness: The room was clean, and housekeeping was prompt. Service: The front desk staff were very welcoming, and the service was excellent!!!

The lobby has a very elegant and clean ambiance, and the room facilities are spotless and complete. There was also a pleasant tea aroma when I entered the room. The room maintained Atour's signature style, and all the bedding was very comfortable. Since the hotel is new, the charging facilities are also exceptionally comprehensive with various types available. The front desk service was also very attentive, making for a very reassuring and comfortable experience.

It was a perfect trip. I wanted to go to Lushun to go shopping. I took the light rail terminal to see the sea. It was very close to the World Peace Park. Although it was late, the park was still lively. The sea was clear and there was no smell of the sea. The store upgraded the room type and turned on the air conditioner in advance. Let the fatigue of the journey sweep away in the cool. In the morning, I looked at Fang Fei on the edge of the villa, the large bathtub floor-to-ceiling windows, and the sea view smelled the flowers. The room is so big, especially when sitting down at the side table on the first floor, I feel like singing a song ”Night on the Outskirts of Moscow”. The flowers in front of the door bloom like a brocade, the green apple exhibition is like a green jade, and the home is very delicious with a single mountain and water.

The room had a great view, and we were lucky with the weather. We saw the sunrise from our sea-view room. After dinner, we were just in time for the Discoveryland fireworks, which we watched from the hotel entrance before heading up to our room. While there were a few minor hiccups during our stay, the short-haired girl at the front desk (I think her name was Lin Junjie, but I'm not entirely sure) provided excellent service and helped us resolve the issues. Overall, it was a pretty perfect trip.

The hotel boasts a unique and excellent location, enjoying its own private bay. During low tide, you can go clam digging, and at high tide, it's perfect for swimming. The hotel also offers various board games and recreational facilities, a self-service kitchen, a restaurant, and a laundry room, so you don't need to leave to enjoy your day. Just 100 meters away is a bustling public bay with cafes, Western restaurants, and grilled fish – very convenient. A 2-kilometer drive will take you to Fisherman's Wharf, offering a variety of delicious food and entertainment. Built into the hillside, the hotel has many stairs. The interior design is very good, offering many picturesque spots, though it might not be ideal for elderly guests. It's more suited for a romantic getaway for younger couples. The concierge service was very attentive, proactively contacting us to resolve various issues. I must commend the laundry room; the dryer function was incredibly helpful for a beach vacation. However, the hotel seems to be a bit older, with some peeling paint on the walls, damaged outdoor chairs, and rather dark public areas at night, requiring us to use our phones as flashlights.

The guesthouse's location is fantastic, right next to Xinghai Square, just a few minutes' walk from the beach. It's incredibly convenient for enjoying the sea view and strolling around the square. The room was clean and tidy, with a cozy atmosphere, soft and comfortable bedding, and excellent soundproofing. The owner was warm and attentive, even recommending nearby restaurants and travel tips. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations, and the check-out process was particularly impressive. The hotel's convenient location made getting around very easy. The room was spotless, the bedding soft and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. All the basic amenities were there, hot water was consistent, and the soundproofing was excellent, so there was no disruptive noise. During check-out, the staff were polite and friendly. The whole process was quick and efficient, with no long waits. The front desk proactively reviewed the billing details, which were clear and transparent with no hidden fees, and they patiently and thoroughly answered any questions I had. The housekeeping staff provided thoughtful service, responding quickly to any requests during my stay. The room facilities were well-maintained, with no damage or strange odors, and the public areas were tidy and well-organized. This hotel offers great value for money, with attentive service that isn't intrusive. From check-in to check-out, the entire experience was smooth and pleasant. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm in the area and would readily recommend it to friends. It's a trustworthy accommodation choice.

The hotel on the golf course feels that it is mainly prepared for guests who come to play golf overnight. It is written as a five-star, but the facilities are actually a bit old. Facing the side of the course, the view is invincible, it is worth a trip for one night alone. The price is also very reasonable. The manager is very enthusiastic. Breakfast is a set meal, relatively simple and tastes good. The room is large, with a balcony and a bathtub. There is free bottled water, because it is a small bottle, so four bottles were given. Later, two bottles were sent. Insufficient: 1. The hot water flow in the shower is too small and the water temperature is low. The traffic below is a bit noisy in the morning.
