Four Points by Sheraton Taian

This hotel is pretty typical fare for small town China. That said, it certainly isn't the worst place we've stayed at. Pros: convenient location, big swimming pool, cheap rooms. The buffet breakfast actually isn't too bad either, all things considered. We were also impressed by the 6rmb french fries on the bar menu. Cons: everything seems a bit grubby and even the non smoking rooms smell faintly of smoke. Also the staff can be incredibly rude. They charged us for a breakfast we didn't want and didn't eat and then tried to argue that it was impossible for them to cancel the order. No apology offered, though they eventually did cancel it. Anyway, if you're visiting Tai'an then this place is probably as good as any.

We had a lovely stay here for one night on our private tour of Shandong. The view of Tai Mountain was right outside our windows which made this hotel special. Room was spacious and clean. We had dinner at the buffet and most servers were courteous and helpful. Food was abundant with plenty of varieties. Only limited to one piece of steak though. There didn't seem to have much around or near the hotel.

The front desk upgraded my standard room to suite. The suite is really big and they also provided fruits and tofu puddings for welcome gifts. After checking out I found I left my cellphone in the room I was really worried.. However， I was told they found the phone and kept it for me for pickup. Thanks for attentive service！
