But many employees only have a very basic English proficiency. We just came from Hong Kong where all the hotel employees seemed to have a much better grasp of English. Very minor nit and maybe I'm just not clued into how much major Chinese cities still have to go in terms of picking up English

Overall, an excellent hotel and I'd highly recommend it.
I guess it also depends where the staff member is from. English is an official language in Hong Kong.
