I stayed at the Oriental Garden over a weekend for business, but found it also to be convenient for a day of sight-seeing. What the hotel lacks in character is more than made up for with sizable and clean rooms ... and what I lack in good Chinese language skills was made up for with a friendly, English-speaking front desk... more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel as part of a tour of China and found it to be quite comfortable with pleasant staff and good surroundings. The hotel boasts a garden complex next door (hence its name) which is free to hotel guests on presentation of your room key. The locals have to pay to get in which... more

However, after arriving my business associate and I left the hotel as soon as we could make other arrangements due to a range of problems. First, the beds are almost literally as hard as rocks.
