Crowne Plaza Tianjin Jinnan

This is the hotel we stayed in our recent trip to Tianjin. The hotel is located quite way out of the city but is in it's a resort style environment. It's a nice and big hotel and the lobby was huge and well decorated. Our room was spacious, bright, clean and cosy, we rested well as the beds were comfortable. There's a big writting desk. The toilet was huge too, with bathtub. Room service was well done too. However, the TV in our room had poor reception and although we had requested for room service to fix the problem (the staff didn't come instantly and so we went out and let the staff who came later to fix it). But having said that, the staff could not totally resolve the issue. Although the reception was slightly better, the TV still show "ghost and blurish" images! (after we returned a few hours later) And they also install electric mosquito traps on the window (and even on the lamp of the writing desk) and if you are not careful, you will get "electrocuted". Although the effect was minimal, you won't feel comfortable. There's a small label on the window stating the mosquito trap but I believe very few people would have noticed it but no label on the writing desk. Breakfast wise, the spread was large, with local and international cuisines but there's "hits and misses" too in terms of the food and quality. But the servers, mostly young boys and girls who may be doing their holiday jobs, were not up to speed to clear the used plates and were either playing with their phones or idling. Location wise, as mentioned, it's way out of the city, and you will need to take Didi/Taxi to get there (which we did) or to the shopping malls which are about 6~8km away. Although nearby there are some eateries and convenience store, they do not offer much choices. Overall, the stay was satisfactory but some of the areas as highlighted above can be improved upon.

Stayed 3 nights, staff very helpful and hotel impressive but on second day maintenance issues in room and most were attendant to. But major one was thermostat control not working. Their solution was to move me to another room rather than fix it. It then becomes someone else’s problem.

Another short stay for business purposes. Although the hotel location a bit remote however the design, service, food and overall hotel products made it up. It is easy to spot this hotel from the higway, between city center and Binhai, with the hotel design like a castle. There is a golf course nearby the hotel and heard from the staff there also a farm and small zoo run by a local family. Good choice for short staycation away from the city.
