Ordos Hotel

1️⃣ Overview I stopped in Ordos for a night's rest, and the last stay at the Crown Plaza was very disappointing, so this time I chose another IHG hotel, the Holiday Inn Express. 🏨 The hotel opened in 2014, located in the Dongsheng District's scenic Huanlu, close to National Highway 109, which is convenient for going to Xiangshawan. Looking at the map, it's near the zoo, botanical garden, and the bronze ware museum, making it a good location for visiting these places. However, it's a bit remote for Dongsheng. The public areas and elevators are quite clean, with the standard HIX decoration style. 2️⃣ Rooms The hotel has simple room types: double, twin, and family rooms. The rooms are about 33 square meters, very spacious, and even with an extra bed, it doesn't feel cramped. The interior decoration is relatively simple, and the facilities are quite new compared to the Crown Plaza. The bathroom is on the right side after entering, with a dry and wet separation. The season is quite dry in the north, and the hotel provides humidifiers, which you need to ask for proactively at the front desk. The placement of the hand soap is not reasonable in relation to the distance from the washbasin. 3️⃣ Dining Breakfast is on the first floor of the hotel, ending at ten o'clock, not very crowded, with a noodle stall offering noodles and wontons, but not a wide variety of dishes. They also provide Inner Mongolian specialty milk tea, enough to fill you up.
