Ramada Plaza Sino-Bay

I am writing this from room 803 of the Ramada Sino Bay, the air conditioning unit does not work so I have to keep the patio door open (thank god they open) that makes it loud and smelly in the room. Not sure what you would do in the hot season, it is relatively cool right now. The bed is extra firm, the towels are thin, there is only a tube of liquid soap bolted to the wall in the shower so when you need to wash your hands you have to reach in the shower to get soap. The shower has black mold growing in the corners at the bottom. The coffee is instant, there is a refrigerator in the room but no drinks in it, even though there is a card giving you prices for the non-existant drinks. The towels are thin. The water in the shower inexplicably cycles hot and cold and you can never get a steady water temperature. The staff are quite nice but they speak no, or very little english. Breakfast is limited but decent, not many western choices but the eggs, noodles, dumplings, breads and vegetables are mostly good. We stayed here because we have meetings for 3 days in SCIP, otherwise this is not a good choice. And it may be worth a long drive to stay elsewhere. It would be great if they updated this hotel because the location is perfect when you have business here.

The hotel is very average. The restaurant menu after 8 pm is ridiculously limited and there are no other dining options in the area. Room walls are cardboard thin so you can hear everything from neighbouring rooms, even poeple switching the lights on and off. There is nothing else to do in the area other than the golf course.

I stayed here 18 months ago amd found surly staff, no wifi, terrible room service. I came back here out of necessity and am glad I did. The staff is very friendly, their English is excellent, they have wifi (!!!), and the room service was good with prompt professional service. Good to know I now have a real hotel choice near Fengxian.
