Great location. There is major construction underway of the road next to the hotel. They're building a subway and it will take 2-3 years to complete. Taxi from the airport to the hotel costs me rmb150. I was told that it would be rmb 100, but when I asked 2 taxis they both quoted me rmb 200. I bargained it down to rmb150. Even with the construction my room was pretty nice and quiet in the evening. Service was great, breakfast was pretty good. Lobby and concierge staff spoke pretty good English. If you walk straight down towards the river for about 10 minutes, you can see the senior citizens exercising, singing, playing cards and having a good time. Its another 15 minute walk over the bridge to Orange Island. From the hotel if you walk the opposite way, you'll see a large shopping center with Starbucks and KFC, then if you find your way across the subway construction, you'll find a Walmart and Bar Street. Just ask the concierge, they have a map of the city and they even offer a free shuttle to the airport.
