Saishangxuan Hotel

Hotel is very small and very mousy

It was peaceful and warm hotel which I stayed. Staff was friendly

Right on the beach with beautiful views and close to restaurants.

If you don't speak Chinese or your Chinese is limited, expect little to no help from the front desk. The hotel it's self is a little run down and grungy, but that's to be expected considering the price. However, the bathroom was a mess, only the handheld sprayer of the shower worked and there was no place to position it as the wall mount was broken. The ceiling leaked from the bathroom above and the floor wasn't sloped enough so the water didn't drain properly and it was always wet. In the room itself, there was a large water mark on the ceiling from a leak ( I'm guessing also from the bathroom above), marks and cracked paint on the walls, the TV didn't work, and the window (while large) had ledges that were crumbling and filled with mold. Only stay here if you cant afford the $5 to stay somewhere nicer .

Instead of arriving on the same day of the booking I came to the hotel in the morning next day. A call ensured that they'd prepared and kept my room with a smooth check-in. The stay, however, comes for a deposit of a whopping 200 RMB. Unfortunately I had to discover later on, that there was a massive turd of **** neatly placed on the bedsheets, leaving a brown ring of wet sauce around it. Upon reclamation, the service desk replaced the bedsheet without further explanation, and let me stay in the same room despite the obvious smell and potential emotional damage : ) The paper in the bathroom was wrinkled from wetness and had a yellowish tint to it, which where it might have come from I will leave to imagination.
