This was my first business trip to Qingdao. The check-in was smooth and comfortable. The staff were not as super friendly as others reviewed, yet satisfactory enough, so I guess my expectation was too high. The room was very clean and the bed was perfect. The waiting time of the elevator felt a bit long compared to other hotels. The hotel is located in a city center place with many restaurants in a walking distance. The bar at the front of the main entrance was not good and needs improvements since the lighting was too bright and needed more air-conditioning. I was sweating and drinking bourbon! The breakfast had variety of choices yet quality of each meal was ok. Overall, well managed hotel and the balance of quality and price is good, so would recommend to business travelers.
