My first visit to China. I had no idea what to expect. I stayed on the 18th floor and loved the "executive lounge" that was available. The service was exceptional and though there were no fluent English speaking staff members, they still tried very hard at serving effectively.
It's China...I chose the no smoking room and it truly was a 'no smoking' room with no residual smell.
This hotel is perhaps a mile from the "city center" but it's pricing was unbeatable. You can walk everywhere from here or taxi's were ALWAYS available along Beijing Road.
The free wireless service did not give me 100% coverage from all locations in hotel, but I'm sure that will improve with time.
Re: Security. I went very worried about security, but left with no concerns at all. Staff never touched electronics, and the doors are manned (literally) 24 hours so there's public traffic in/out.
If you want to experience life in Guiyang, this is a great place to stay.
