Fangzhong Holiday Hotel

Stay in this hotel for one night. There was celebration of annyversary of our partner. Big and comfortable hotel. Good rooms with charges for any mobile phone. Free wifi. Good location near train station.

Had stayed here before several years ago and it was a very good 3+ star hotel. Service is excellent, but rooms, restaurant and corridors are ran down. No bar. Beds are a bit uncomfortable. For a business trip it serves the purpose. As stated, employees go out of their way to provide service. Almost non speak good English; but they will find a way to understand you and serve you. Breakfast buffet, was good.

This would be more like a three-and-a-half star rating if that were possible. If you're into physical fitness, there's plenty to do here with a garden path, sports club and nice swimming pool. There was even a treadmill near the elevators on the floor I was staying on. The surrounding palm tree garden is lovely and it's near a train station which is convenient. The rooms could use some updating.* The carpet and furnishings were old (i.e. nightstand with lighting control panel) and the beds were hard. The breakfast buffet didn't have much in the way of Western food. The first time I stayed at this hotel (in April 2017) I tried to have dinner in the dining hall, which was mostly darkened with one idle waiter on call (because there were no other diners). The "salad buffet" consisted only of a few bowls of not-so-fresh items which appeared to be left over from lunch time. The surrounding neighborhood doesn't seem to have any dining alternatives that one could walk to. I've stayed at better hotels in the Dongguan region. (*at least the rooms I stayed in. I don't know about the more expensive deluxe rooms).
