I stayed here for one night recently while attending an exhibition in Tai'an. It was a very good experience and I would strongly recommend this hotel if visiting Tai'an.
The room was comfortable and the air conditioner worked. The king bed was comfortable and there was both a shower and a bath provided. Fast, free wifi is provided, although I needed the help of a Chinese speaking colleague to get the wifi password.
The hotel accepts non-Chinese credit cards, including Amex. Check in and check out was reasonably fast given the large numbers of customers at the reception desk at the same time.
In the evening I participated in a Government banquet which was held in the hotel, in a banquet room with a large banquet table seating 25 people. The food and service was impeccable.
In the morning I had breakfast in the restaurant on the ground floor, which was incredibly busy, however there was a vast selection of food available. I couldn't manage to work the coffee machine though due to language difficulties.
The staff I encountered were all genuinely kind and friendly and made the stay excellent. As with most country Chinese hotels there was a lingering smell of cigarette smoke in many areas, but you get used to that in regional China.
There is a pool and a gym available, but I didn't use either. I really enjoyed my short stay here and would recommend it to all travellers.
