I attended a conference in this hotel and arrived a few days before the conference began. The weather was very hot and I wondered why the air-conditioning didn't seem to work well in my room. Strangely, a few days later when the conference started (when a few hundred conference participants arrived and checked into the hotel), the air-conditioning began to function properly and I even got newspaper delivered to my room every morning. That was when I realized the hotel chose to be "good" when the big clients arrived. Obviously, the hotel was trying to be stingy!

Other than that, the room was very nice with a very beautiful bathroom. The bed might be a little fluffy though. The buffet breakfast was very nice.

The location of this hotel should not be a determining factor for your stay. Nobody should go to TEDA (the new economic zone of Tianjin) unless you have business to do there. It's some kind of no man's land, very dull and ugly. If you want to see Tianjin, you should stay in old Tianjin.

To start with the only bad thing: the quality of food for lunch and dinner needs to be improved as the food tends to be too bland and fatty.

The breakfast though is great with a variety of european and asian dishes.

I stayed a total of over 8 weeks in 2007 in this hotel and it is a very nice property: a good business center, a large pool, a good gym 24 hours open to guests, a nice bar, clean and large rooms & amenities.

Definitely a place to stay in.

I travel to China a lot on business to Tianjin. This hotel is probably one of the best in this TEDA area.

This hotel looks very new, and clean. All the staff seems to smile and friendly. The gym is hugh with sauna, in-door pool. Although I have to confess that I have been too busy this week, and did not have a chance to use it. I did have a walk-around to check it out. The buffet is outstanding, with a lot of variaty of quality food, chinese, japanse, western, koren, Indian, and so on. They buffet also include several custom stations that they cook eggs, noodles, fish and steak for you. You pick the ingredients, and tell them how you want it cooked. Wonderful deserts too.

The bar is hugh, and with a live band weekends. One thing that kind of intereting was I ordered a gin and soda. The order came with several glasswares. A glass with ice, the soda in a belly shaped bottle, and the gin came in a graduate cylinder, I had to mix my own drink. It was quite unusual.

The location is great, directly across from a golf course. Within walking distance from nice restaurants and a favorite water-hole for expats. There are hugh new shopping malls within three blocks of the hotel.

It is on a busy thorough fare road, a lot of traffic through the day. One concern would be crossing the street. There does not seem to a crosswalk, and the lightiing is poor. If one walks out at night, car may not see you. It may be safer to get a taxi.

The hotel was quite nice. It is located in the economic development zone of Tianjin so everything in this particular area appeared to be new, including the hotel. The area appears to be comprised of factories, hotels, restaurants, golf courses and the homes of those that manage and or work for the businesses mentioned. If you want to do some sightseeing, you may wish to stay in the city of Tianjin instead of the TEDA zone.

Rooms were spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The internet speed was fast. All the standard bathroom amenities and more were present: toothbrushes, combs, bath salts, lotions, shampoo, conditioner, etc.

The breakfast buffet was quite good and featured foods from a variety of countries. Japanese, Korean, British, American, Chinese, etc.

The Chinese restaurant was fine. Our supplier held a dinner for us there.

The staff was very friendly , helpful and inquisitive.

Directly across the street from the hotel is a golf course which is open to the public. For those needing a Starbucks fix, just walk out the main entrance of the hotel and go to the right. Approximately two to three blocks away you will see it along with a shopping mall. In the same complex is a grocery store, a KFC, pizza restaurant and several other restaurants.

This is by far the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. Bed was like diving into a big fluffy cloud. The bathroom is luxurious with separate tub and shower. A bubble bath was a wonderful way to unwind after a 6hr flight from Singapore and 2hr drive from Beijing. LCD TV, bath robe & slippers. Room service was excellent, pool/gym were top-notch. I enjoyed the small souvenir shop, too. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. This hotel is a true oasis in the middle of the dusty, polluted Tianjin Economic Development Area...and room rates are amazingly low.
