"This spring, my family and I drove to Dalian to see the sea. After a week of research, I finally chose this hotel. After staying for three days, my whole family, from the youngest to the oldest, couldn't find a single fault. I absolutely have to write this positive review to serve as a reference for friends planning to visit Dalian.👍
Since we were driving, I called the hotel a day in advance to confirm our reservation. They kindly reserved a parking space near the entrance for us, so we could drive straight there after exiting the highway without circling for parking. As soon as we arrived at the hotel entrance, a bellhop quickly came over, actively helped us with our luggage from the trunk, and even slowed his pace to guide us when he saw my mother using a trekking pole. His attitude was warm and natural, completely free of any awkward over-enthusiasm. During check-in, the front desk attendant, upon hearing we were bringing children to see the sea, upgraded us to a side sea-view room for free. She also thoughtfully gave the children small dinosaur toys and kid-friendly amenities. She even specifically reminded housekeeping to boil the kettle in our room beforehand, knowing my mother prefers warm tea. These small details, showing they truly cared about guests' needs, instantly warmed our hearts.
The moment we opened the room door, we were truly amazed. The huge observation balcony directly faced Xinghai Bay Bridge. In the morning, we could see the white bridge casting a soft shadow on the azure sea. In the evening, the sunset dyed the waves into shimmering gold. At night, we could sit on the balcony, feel the sea breeze, and watch the bridge lights gradually illuminate. Any photo we took was a stunning, unedited seascape masterpiece. The room was meticulously cleaned; we couldn't find a speck of dust on top of the wardrobe or in the crevices of the bedside tables. The bedding felt clean and sun-kissed, and the mattress had just the right firmness. My dad, who has back issues, said he didn't experience any back pain after sleeping for two nights. The pillows also offered both soft and memory foam options, ensuring everyone in the family could find a suitable one. The bathroom had a dry/wet separation, and the glass was sparkling clean without any water stains. Hot water came out in ten seconds, and the water pressure was very stable, so there was no waiting for showering or shampooing. The toiletries had a light green tea scent, not overpowering, and safe for children to use. Even more surprising was the mini-bar: Coke, Sprite, and small packets of local Mackerel Porridge snacks were all complimentary and replenished daily. After returning from our walk by the sea, sipping on an ice-cold soda instantly washed away all our fatigue.🍹
The location couldn't be better. Xinghai Square is just a ten-minute walk from the hotel entrance, so there's no need to drive and fight for parking. Every morning, we enjoyed strolling along the seaside boardwalk, feeling wonderfully refreshed by the salty sea breeze. To get to Discovery Kingdom in Jinshitan, there's a light rail station right outside, providing a direct ride without transfers. Dining options were also convenient; several local seafood restaurants were within a ten-minute walk from the hotel. We tried the iron-pot stewed mackerel, which was incredibly fresh. In the mornings, if we wanted Dalian's traditional soy milk, there was a breakfast shop just around the corner – so incredibly convenient.
The hotel's amenities also exceeded our expectations. The lobby on the first floor always offered complimentary local Dalian flower tea. Every time we returned, we could enjoy a warm cup, which was both refreshing and soothing. The self-service laundry room on the second floor was free, complete with detergent and dryers. During our three-day stay, we washed and dried our clothes as we changed them, eliminating the need to pack a bulky wardrobe, making our trip incredibly relaxing and enjoyable. The breakfast selection was also particularly rich. The freshly steamed mackerel buns were bursting with savory juice, and the fried yellow croaker was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Even I, someone who usually dislikes breakfast, was willing to wake up early for extra plates. The restaurant aunties, seeing we had children, even proactively helped us with high chairs and warmed milk – their thoughtfulness was absolutely top-notch.
On the day of check-out, I accidentally left my jade pendant in the room. The cleaning staff found it and immediately brought it to the front desk. Within ten minutes, the front desk contacted us, who were already halfway down the road. After verifying our information, they promptly returned it without any hesitation. This level of honesty and reliability is truly reassuring. A large part of the good mood during this Dalian sea trip came from this hotel. Whether it was the service, facilities, or location, everything far exceeded the standards of hotels in the same price range, offering incredibly high value for money. I've already recommended it to friends who are coming to Dalian next month to see the cherry blossoms. The next time we come to Dalian to see the sea, this will definitely be our first choice, and I sincerely recommend it to everyone planning a trip to Dalian – choosing this hotel is an absolute win."
