German-style sophistication, Dalian Xinghai Square Intercity Hotel

🌟 Key Highlights: Excellent Location - Surrounded by core attractions: Adjacent to Xinghai Square (within walking distance), only 2 minutes from the starting point of the coastal walking road, and within a 10-minute walk to Xinghai Park, Sun Asia Ocean World, and Dalian World Expo Square. - Convenient transportation: 15 minutes by car from Dalian Railway Station, 25 minutes from the airport/high-speed rail station; there is a bus stop and charging parking spaces downstairs, friendly for self-driving. 🏨 Hotel Environment: Newly opened facilities: Opened in 2024, no renovation odors, equipped with 65-inch projection TV, smart toilets, voice control system (adjust lighting/air conditioning). - Sea view: The deluxe sea view rooms reportedly have 180° floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of the Xinghai Bay Cross-Sea Bridge sunset and lights, but my stay was in a non-view direction, with a night view of Xinghai Square. 🖼 Service Details: Fast check-in at the front desk, rooms were fully booked on the day of check-in, no free room upgrades; Laundry room is well-equipped and easy to use, gym equipment is also relatively new. 🍽 Dining Recommendations: Flexible hours: 7:00-10:30, perfect for late risers. Local specialty snacks include freshly made Dalian Menzi, seafood noodles, German-style sausage, and alkaline water bread, but overall taste is quite ordinary. ⚠️ Potential Drawbacks 1. Large price fluctuations - Weekdays ¥300+ per night (including breakfast), and basically fully booked, so little chance for room upgrades; peak season (holidays) ¥650-, lake view suites can reach ¥1,500+. - Compared to competitors: Hyatt in the same area (¥1,200+) offers better value, but avoid peak season if on a budget. 2. Limited view in low-floor rooms: garden view rooms may be blocked by trees, high-floor sea view rooms require extra payment. 💰 Value Guide - Avoid pitfalls: When booking, note "high-floor sea view" to possibly avoid low-floor garden view rooms; 📍 Nearby Activities Tips 1. Walking route: - Hotel → Xinghai Square (feed seagulls/light show) → Coastal boardwalk → Sun Asia Ocean World (less crowded at night). 2. Food recommendation: Sea urchin dumplings: 5-minute walk to "Xinghai Fishing Port" Summary: German craftsmanship + unbeatable sea view, a rare choice under ¥1,000! ✅ Choose it if: quality-focused, lazy-friendly, prime location; ❌ Be cautious if: budget < ¥500/night 🔍 Name easily confused, be sure to book "585 Binhai West Road"!
