Crowne Plaza Dalian Sports Center, an IHG Hotel

Convenient

It’s a relatively new hotel. The rooms are quite modern. However the air conditioning is controlled centrally. This was annoying as the AC was stuck at 26 degrees for the whole floor. It was like being inside a moggy lizard tank. Also the hotel is across the street from a giant power plant with two huge smoke stacks. It’s quite an ugly sight and not got for the lungs I am sure. The room service food was also very bad I ordered the steak , fish and chips and then a sandwich as all portions are small. It is really not up to the standard i would set for a western chain hotel. The food was edible at best. All in all I would not stay here again! The only positive point I would highlight they did upgrade my room to a suite after I complained about the AC. The staff were non confrontational and helpful.
