Location, location, location.
This Sheraton is the old 80's tall atrium overlooking the lobby format hotel. It still has that 80's brown red carpet and there are some definite signs of wear and tear. Considering the obvious age of the hotel, maintenance has clearly been done and everything is clean as can be.
As for the rooms, our room was on the smaller side, the shower is the old fashion mosaic tile format of the 80's and our AC did not cool however the bed was new and the classic good Sheraton mattress.
We asked for the quiet side of the hotel or the rooms that face the pool not the river, which we received.
The location in the middle of the tourist action. In front is the Li River. The back, one street in is ZhengYang Pedestrian street. You are 20 minutes walk to Fubo Hill. Every food option is available a few minute walk away. Multiple legitimate Chinese massage on the same block as the hotel, as well as multiple bars, clubs and coffee shops. Can't stop raving about the location.
Service is fantastic, everybody speaks English.
Breakfast is standard buffet with all the Western and Asian staples included.
It's one of these hotels that the location trumps everything and you can overlook a few little flaws because of the convenience.
