Grand Continent International Hotel

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The maid was particularity nice and friendly. Good location. The room was a decent size.

Our room was pretty unacceptable. There was a leak in the wall/floor near the bathroom which the hotel clearly knew about as the peeling paint had been painted over. We had to step over wet, stained carpet to enter the bathroom. There was also a ton of black mold in the bathroom, likely connected to the leak. I wrote ahead asking for a non smoking room. Upon arrival, I was given a room with a non smoking sign and an ashtray. Needless to say, the room smelled badly. I understand that this is China and smoking rules are rarely enforced, but not encouraging smoking in non smoking rooms is a good start. Since many guests smoke at breakfast, the hotel should also install some fans or ventilation to remove the smoke for the other guests. For the money, this was the worst hotel I've stayed at in China since I've lived here.
