4-Star Hotels in Liaoning, China

We had to scramble to Jinzhou due to medical emergency from overseas. We happened to book this hotel in a great hurry and it was truly the only thing that helped us preserve our sanity at a very fraught time. It was also our first time using trip.com as I could not find much options in Jinzhou on ***********, my long time app of choice. I was worried about how things would turn out since I didn't know if I could trust trip.com or fully research my options as we had to rush to pack as well. As it turned out, I'm 100% sure that no other hotel in 4th tier Jinzhou city could have given us the experience, comfort and ambience that Manxin Hotel did. I don't say that lightly as a seasoned international traveller who's stayed at many types of hotels/guesthouses/motels over the years, it takes *a lot* to impress us enough to earn my praise and endorsement in a review. Manxin Hotel felt like a small boutique hotel feel with 3 floors of rooms. It was only opened in Jan 2024, so it really feels nice and new with a high ceiling foyer /lounge area. The rooms are huge with huge floor to ceiling windows. Although it's next to a train station, the triple glazed windows amazingly cut out most of the noise. The beds were very comfortable, with great toiletries, great Laifun hairdryer and free drinks replenished daily. Even the tea bags they provided were of great quality. We stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks so we were very happy to be able to use the complimentary washing machine service which saved me the hassle of having to hand wash my clothes daily in my room! There were some drainage issues in the shower but the hotel staff did try to sort out the problem. There's also a spacious gym available for those who are fitness fanatics. The hotel breakfast had great variety with quality coffee (not easy to find good coffee in China). They even had a singer in the foyer 3 nights a week. Though I usually love listening to live music, the singers were students who were not quite able to deliver a performance befitting the old world charm and ambience of the hotel foyer. Any hotel can have the best of facilities but often fall short on the service front. Since we were staying there for 2 weeks, we often had to deal with the hotel staff on a daily basis. We found them to be very competent, sincere, friendly, understanding and helpful for the most part, willing to do all that they could to assist us during our time of considerable distress and strain due to our family emergency. Even the housekeeping staff and the lady clearing plates in the breakfast area were warm and helpful! As foreigners , we would sometimes need help with paperwork, scanning, photocopying, and other assistantance communicating with the outside world to make arrangements for international medical evacuation, WeChat/Alipay tutorials etc. We will always be grateful to the staff for all their efforts to assist in our time of need. In particular, we would like to thank Sales manager XY Yang and duty manager Hong for their tireless assistance and consideration. If we were to go to Jinzhou again, Manxin hotel would absolutely be our only choice.

# Dalian Sishi Jingyu Beach Resort Hotel Overall Experience: ★★★★☆ (4/5) A very enjoyable stay with an unbeatable beachfront location and breathtaking ocean views. Location:★★★★★ * Excellent beachfront setting with stunning ocean views. * Waking up and stepping onto the balcony felt like being right on the beach. Room:★★★★☆ * Modern, stylish décor and a pleasant atmosphere. I love the use of wood and the natural look.  * Cleanliness could be improved, especially considering the premium room rate. Balcony:★★★☆☆ * Amazing sea views. * Limited shelter made it difficult to relax or enjoy meals because of birds. * Outdoor furniture was uncomfortable, with hard chairs and a basic table. Breakfast:★★☆☆☆ * The hotel advertises both Western and Chinese breakfast options; however, the Western selection was very limited. * Coffee was not available during breakfast, which was disappointing for an international resort. * Guests with dietary requirements, such as those who do not eat pork, may find the buffet quite limited, with few suitable alternatives. Dining:★★★☆☆ * Hotel restaurants and bar offered a nice atmosphere. * Food and drinks were expensive for the portion sizes and overall value. * Ordering through ******* or dining outside the hotel provides better value. Activities & Beach Facilities:★★★☆☆ * The beachfront location is beautiful and has great potential for guest activities. * It would be a wonderful addition if the resort included complimentary paddle boats, beach games, balls, sand toys, or other recreational equipment for guests. * Most activities required an additional fee, and there were very few free entertainment options available for families or guests wanting to enjoy the beach. Value for Money:★★★☆☆ * The spectacular location justifies part of the cost, but improvements in cleanliness, balcony comfort, breakfast variety, complimentary beach activities, and dining value would greatly enhance the overall guest experience. Would I Recommend It?✔️ Yes The breathtaking beachfront location and incredible views make this hotel worth considering. With a few improvements in comfort, cleanliness, breakfast options, complimentary recreational activities, and pricing, it would provide an even better guest experience.

I stayed at this hotel with my son for a football tournament. Initially, I was a bit hesitant after reading some online reviews, but since the team was staying here, it made it more convenient for us during the competition. So, I decided to go with it. I sent my son to check it out first, and he said that while the hotel was old, it was generally okay. My actual stay confirmed this. Although the hotel is quite old, the brand does an excellent job with maintenance. All the facilities were in good condition, the bedding was very comfortable, and the towels seemed relatively new. The bathroom sink was spotless, with no grime or stains. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, covering all the essentials. Overall, it's great value for money, and I was very satisfied with my stay. Small suggestion: It would be even more perfect if the carpets could get a deep clean.

I'd stayed at an Atour 3.5 in Qingdao before, so when I saw this new Atour 4.0 opening in Dalian in 2025, and it was close to Dongguan Street, I booked it well in advance, thinking Atour's service is always great for a trip. I had high expectations, but the actual stay was a bit disappointing. 1. I booked a room without breakfast. Last year, during the off-peak season in September at the Qingdao branch, they directly offered complimentary daily breakfast for two throughout my stay, which was a great experience. This hotel only offered one day of complimentary breakfast for two. I tried the coffee machine in the public area downstairs both morning and evening, but for three consecutive days, there was no milk, so I couldn't make coffee properly. The self-service beverage experience was poor. 2. The room hardware was brand new, and basic cleanliness was acceptable. However, there's still a lot of room for improvement in the maintenance of public facilities and service details. The cleaning staff came daily during my stay and did clear the trash, but they only re-made the bed simply, and visible hair on the bed wasn't cleaned. 3. The soundproofing in the room was poor; I could clearly hear noise from next door. On the last night of my stay, the TV inexplicably turned on by itself in the middle of the night for some unknown reason, severely impacting my sleep experience.

The Hotel is a great deal, rooms are small but well arranged with great lightning and a comfy bed. The location is perfect, 2min walk from the river and about 10 by taxi from the station. The bridge is about 20min away on foot. The staff is very nice and helpful. Some people do smoke in the room so turning on the shower fan may bring some cigarette smell into the bathroom but other than this we had an amazing stay. Highly recommand.

I picked this hotel last minute for my summer vacation because I was staying in Shenyang for several days, and this one had continuous availability. Plus, it had a bathtub and a small tent for the kids, which sealed the deal. The location is definitely a strong point, right on Zhongjie Pedestrian Street, near the subway station. The lobby is on the 7th floor for check-in. I saw reviews mentioning having to go to the lobby daily to reactivate the room key for the next day, so I specifically asked the front desk. A manager helped me arrange a continuous stay, so I didn't need to report to the 7th floor every day – much appreciated. As for the environment, being an older hotel, it did feel a bit dated, but I figured it would be fine. We booked a family room with a tent and some toys inside, as well as a bathtub. Our first night's shower was smooth, but the following days were quite frustrating. During the summer, it was scorching hot, and after sightseeing, we'd usually return around 10 PM. The shower water would barely be warm then; it was too cold for adults, let alone children. After discussing it with the manager in the middle of the night, they assured me it would be better the next day. So, the next day, we made sure not to stay out too late and returned at 9:30 PM, and the water temperature was acceptable. However, on the third day, it was bad again. After several attempts, I realized that the water temperature gradually dropped after 9:30 PM, heated up again after midnight, and was hot in the morning. It felt just like an old electric water heater. Normally, turning the mixing valve to the left increases the hot water temperature, but the hotel seemed to control it itself. Even when turned all the way to the left, it wasn't scalding, just suitable for summer temperatures. I considered complaining to the manager again but decided against it, assuming most electric water heaters in the north operate this way. And this was in summer! I kept thinking, what would tourists do if they stayed here in winter and the shower water gradually cooled down at night? Perhaps that's not my concern. In terms of cleanliness, it was generally good. The room was cleaned daily, and slippers, toiletries, and children's amenities were all replenished. For soundproofing, since all family rooms are near the elevator, I paid attention to it while sleeping but didn't notice any significant noise or disturbance, so that was acceptable.

The room environment and location were decent. There was a slight hiccup during check-in, but I was really touched by the sincere and professional attitude of the short-haired lady at the front desk who resolved it (her professionalism deserves a thumbs up – hotel service and problem-solving attitude are everything). I hope the hotel will also prioritize guests booking through platforms like Trip.com in the future. If they're only going to focus on guests who book directly through H Rewards and get late check-out privileges, then I suggest they stop taking bookings on online platforms altogether.

My stay was very enjoyable. The hotel's public areas were clean and elegant. The room layout was well-designed, making it feel spacious, and the bathroom facilities worked perfectly with no standing water or stains. The staff were polite and enthusiastic. There was ample parking, which made getting around easy. Overall, it's highly recommended. The actual experience largely matched the advertisements, with no sense of disappointment. The room was spotlessly cleaned, and the pillows and mattress had just the right firmness, leading to excellent sleep quality. The internet connection was smooth, and check-in/check-out was efficient. There are many dining options nearby, making it a very comfortable base for travel and sightseeing.

This hotel is great in every aspect, but the breakfast and the price of nearly 500 yuan a night during the off-season just don't match. The variety of breakfast items is truly too limited. What's the difference between this and staying at a Hanting for 200-something yuan? Can you believe they even have plain white rice with one dish for breakfast? When checking out, the front desk didn't even look up and didn't even bother to offer the two complimentary bottles of water.
