I had high expectations for my stay at Xinhai Jin Jiang Hotel based on glowing reviews, but I found a mixed experience. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, the rooms felt run down and the noise from the busy intersection was a drawback. The location is decent for reaching major attractions, which is a plus during a sightseeing trip.
