Xinglong Tropical Garden Tours and Activities

This is a modern, upscale hotel. Google maps gets you close to the hotel, but I found that Google maps is not very accurate in China. The hotel lobby is on the 9th floor of the high rise building. The room had very modern amenities and a nice shower. There was an issue with the airport transfer which, according to Expedia, was included in the price of the room, but when I got to the hotel they said it wasn't included. The main reason I booked the hotel was for the airport transfer. I'm not sure who is at fault for this, could be inaccurate info on Expedia, or Expedia not communicating the airport transfer as part of the price to the hotel. The hotel manager did offer to provide an airport transfer after I showed my Expedia reservation confirmation, but it was very frustrating and my check in took much longer as a result (30 minutes to check in because of this issue). There's nothing worse than having to argue with the hotel over what's included in the booking, especially when it's in a country where they don't speak English - I really felt helpless in this situation. Makes me think twice about using Expedia to book a hotel. As with many hotels in China, there is no such thing as a non-smoking room, so be prepared to put up with cigarette smoke smell in the room. Other than that, it was a high class hotel room.
