Location: It is not downtown, but it does have some restaurants across the street, including kfc and starbucks, as well as a supermarket and  banks. You need a taxi to visit the city downtown.
Staff: Hardly speak english, forget about room service ordering
Rooms: Spacious and clean with all facilities expected in this category (minibar, flat tv etc). Can smoke inside, as in most chinese hotels
Internet: Dead slow, as everywhere else in china
Food: Mainly chinese, did not bother. Went to restaurants instead

i have no reference from other hotels in this area, so i would say it's an ok choice for a few days business trip, if you can arrange food and don't need to go downtown

Decent hotel for short stay

Stay for a few times for business trip. Large bed, spacious room. 

One time, I forgot to take the battery after check out and move to Hangzhou for work. I phone back to reception for my lost battery. They keep for me and even courier to Hangzhou to me. Strongly impressed by their service.

Above average business hotel 

I stayed around 6 weeks on business trip.Room was spacious, modern and includes all the necessary amenities from slippers to toothbrush. the bed was comfy with lots of pillow options. There is a flat screen tv with limited English channels. Berger with ottoman, coffee table and study desk  was present in the room. Also Enough wardrobe space and separate luggage holder. Electronic safe and minibar. Minibar was not filled daily or weekly or monthly :) the bathroom had a separate shower and bathtub. overall room was nice and clean. The breakfast is full buffet Chinese food so if you are sensitive to smell it may be little overwhelming. Not really big on western breakfast,no cheese but i saw milk and cereal, also fruits and some scrambled eggs . The eggs will be cold though, the cook won't make you a new one :) the breakfast salon also serves as a western restaurant You can order pizza, beef, sandwich, pasta or burgers, little pricey bt not much . The main problem of the hotel is lack of english speaking staff. I cannot explain what i need or what is not working in the room or even ordering food it's a real challenge. Hotel has a free WiFi in the rooms and lobby. Also like most of the places in China, smoking is ok anywhere in the hotel including the lobby. Around the hotel  a lot of massage parlors and local restaurants but the area is safe as in China general. Overall the hotel was good enough for long term stay.

good enough

A couple of years ago I did recommend this hotel to my visitors and business partners.
Would not do that anymore and I book defenitely another hotels in Beilun.
After staying there for a few times by myself...well, not everything what glitters is a diamond.
Rooms : clean and spacy, bathroom o.k., bed big but hard, nothing wrong with that.
WIFI : free of charge...fine.
breakfast : if you are not up to chinese "specialities"...better skip it.
Scrambled eggs the cooks did not want to do.
Instead offered me the sunny side up eggs, which were cooked 30 min ago and already cold.
My friendly question if he could be so kind and make me fresh scrambled eggs he answered with a simply sign onto the cold eggs...shaking his head. Yep, why wasting materials on foreigners when they could have the old and cold eggs ? Well done.
Well, in China that might be friendly hospitality...not in other countries.
Looking for a taxi ?
The concierge will ask his friends with private "black taxis" to pick you up.
Those drivers will ask for 2 - 3 times the normal taxi fee.
Probably they have a deal and share a bit of what the foreigners pay too much ?
Finding a taxi in this area on your own ? Good luck !
Dinner ?
Yeah !
Buffet - dinner...one price...all you can eat !
O.K., sit down and relax, watch the people filling up multiple dishes to the maximum, try to get everything and leave nothing for others...to find out finally that it was too much to eat at a time and leave the rests somewhere on, beside or under the tables.

Summary :
Rooms are o.k., forget the rest.

Would not recommend it again

Fairly basic business hotel if you are in the area. Comfortable room with complete amenities. LAN in the room but no wifi. No pool. Breakfast is simple but adequate. Location is good with many 24hrs massage places around and a department store within walking distance. Quite hard to get a taxi though.
