And I didn't even find if there is an existing topic available. I am just trying to post some of my hotel experience. I don't understand why someone would like to pick on a post and search for another one and says hey you are posting something that should be put into elsewhere.

If I post this into an existing topic, my hotel review will be blended with all other things and no one will see it later on.

Hotel Review: Four Points by Sheraton Shenzhen
oops, you are using the word "outlook" creatively. understand your enthusiasm in promoting your website but it is slightly annoying to see those "one like one support" tagline.

They have an superb shuttle service available for departure ( shared basis ) but it was an executive with decent seats...
I Dont know what times are available but sure the concierge will be able to tell you...
Private car is an option as well.... Leaving shenzhen to hkia was so smooth.... Perfect service booked trough 4P
Arriving from hkia to JW Marriott with instructions from their concierge was one of the biggest hassles I have ever had in my travel life... The taxi dropped us at the wrong border crossing. No VOA there. No taxi would take us to the other crossing where VOA was available. We only had big bills. You had to take a bus for about 1-2 dollars iirc but no change available. No place to change or buy anything nearby.Comments were "bad luck for u" .... After an hour we have met somebody who gave us the the coins so we could get the bus ticket....

Not worth it...Unless you are a Platinum...
Bumping an old thread.
This is my second time staying in this 4P as SPG Gold. My advice to others - unless you are a SPG Platinum, don't bother staying in this 4P.
Your SPG Gold is practically non-existence in this 4P, based on my 2 stays. If you are a person looking for enjoying elite benefit, then I am sorry - this 4P is not for you.
You may have a way better luck with CY Marriott Sha Tin.

Based on other posts in this thread, it seems this property is poor at recognising Gold status. I recently stayed at the Four Points Shenzhen as an SPG Platinum for the first time. I thought it was a great no-frills stop and very close to the HK border. As a Plat, I arrived from SZ airport after midnight and was upgraded to a very spacious Deluxe Suite in the west tower. I was surprised how huge this property was, and it was a large walk from the main lobby in the east tower to my room.
My deluxe suite was very clean and spacious but sadly only two bottles of water and no welcome note. There was also a kitchen in this suite but no cutlery, plates, bowls or cups which I found unusual and made the kitchen useless.
Breakfast in the west tower on level 23 was very quiet and a very good buffet spread, particularly Chinese breakfast items. I also enjoyed the spacious outdoor seating area.
Only issue with the service I encountered was a very slow check out — so slow that I gave up waiting in the queue and left. Ironically, this was the only busy part of the entire property; very few people at breakfast and I didn't see anyone else around the property much at all.
Overall, a great stay for the price and I enjoyed the property's quietness.
