is a big contrast to the Delhi one we stayed last month (I think, or
earlier this month, whatever). This hotel definitely has a "Chinese
partner touch" to it. Very plain. The gym and pool do not open until
7am but close at 11pm. The lobby was like any 5-star hotel; however,
the room and the general fit and finish look "tired". And you can
tell the quality is not that good.
We got upgraded to a one-bedroom suite. From the hotel's website
photo gallery, it looks very nice. When we walked into the room.
OK. Everything is all beat-up to some degrees. The coffee table was
all scratched and scuffed. Overall fit and finish like plywood put
together. I couldn't get the temperature control set right. I can see
finger prints on a ceiling access panel. Hee hee... Then on the
inside of the shower glass, I saw writings from the construction.
Welcome to Northern China.
Dalian is know for its fresh seafood. Did not sample any. We went to
a vegetarian restaurant instead just a block up on the 5th floor of
ZhongShan Hotel. Food OK. Expensive though. Four dishes came to
RMB145.00. I was expecting a bit less. Guess Dalian is getting
expensive as it is a Tier 2 city with a drive to be "Bangalore-like"
economy.
Have taken pictures from iPhone. Will post after Beijing Olympic-
distance Triathlon over the weekend. No, I am not participating, I am
logistic support.
