Holiday Inn Express

I resumed business travel to the area after the pandemic, and enjoyed my stay here. The hotel has gotten a renovation since my previous visits just before the pandemic. The room is ultra modern and has the new blue/orange design theme. Everything is super practical. Plenty of power points everywhere, including both USB-A and USB-C ports that put out high current. The room now include Xiaomi's smart speaker and you can use it to control just about everything in the room. Hard products at the hotel are awesome. However, much like my previous experiences, the breakfast service is still the weakness. While the food is OK, the staff has serious issues. I went to get some coffee after placing a plate of food on the table, but only to return 30 seconds later with the table cleaned and food thrown out. The issue keeps repeating itself over and over again with staff constantly throwing out uneaten new plate of food or beverages. I am stunned at the amount food waste from these insane amount of premature but mindless table cleaning. So much so, I literally had to tell the staff in Chinese with a stern voice, to not throw out the food I just gotten. The staff is insanely overzealous with the table cleaning, and deserve to be reprimanded for causing unnecessary food waste.

Rooms are very clean and comfortable, small rooms have the window on an internal court that in Winter time may be fine, but in Summer may be very hot. Only bigger room have the minibar. The breakfast buffet is good and has a wide choice of food.

Cheap Hotel. Good to visit BSU University next door. Therefore excellent located. But not many restaurants nearby or spots to visit. so for a focus businesstrip to the BSU perfect located. Longer stays I recommend an other district
