Anonymous UserWhile visiting Qingdao, I decided to spend a day in Jinan and chose the Shangri-La. Before checking in, I called to confirm that my room was ready. The lobby is impressive, and the room was spacious, quiet, and well-equipped. The toiletries were excellent, and I particularly liked the eco-friendly bamboo toothbrushes and combs. The hotel is conveniently located opposite Quancheng Square, perfect for an evening stroll to watch the musical fountain. Baotu Spring is also within walking distance. There are plenty of malls nearby, and both takeout and dining options are easily accessible. The old city, however, is genuinely congested; it took almost 40 minutes to get to Jinan Station by taxi, and I barely made my train. The hotel also seems to offer intangible cultural heritage activities, but I didn't have time to participate. I would definitely choose this hotel again for a more leisurely trip to Jinan.

Anonymous UserThe room facilities were complete. As for hygiene, it was generally okay, but the faucet had noticeable water stains, and there were some stains on the duvet cover. The carpet stains were also quite obvious. In terms of location, it's close to the high-speed rail station, about a taxi's minimum fare away. The lobby is on the 5th floor, which might be a bit confusing and hard to find for first-time guests. The front desk lady's service was good, but one gentleman seemed a bit inflexible – perhaps northern guys are just a bit aloof. The breakfast had a good variety, thumbs up! 👍

Guest UserThis Hilton with sea views is my go-to for a Yantai vacation! ✨
I was truly captivated by the beauty of the Hilton Yantai Golden Coast during my vacation here 😭. The floor-to-ceiling windows bring the Golden Beach sea view right into the room. In the evening, the orange-red sunset casts its glow on the sea, and every photo you take looks like it's from a magazine! 🌇
The service experience was excellent; the staff, especially Henny (Jellyfish), was incredibly nice. The bedding was super soft, ensuring a very peaceful sleep, and both the pool and gym were available for use. Stepping out, the beach is just a few steps away, making it super convenient to walk on the sand and enjoy the sea.
Escaping the city to relax and unwind here was incredibly therapeutic. For your trip to Yantai, choose this hotel – you won't regret it. Sea view lovers, go for it! ✅

Guest UserJust checked out of the Crowne Plaza Qingdao Ocean Spring Resort, and this 3-day, 2-night 'lie-flat' vacation was truly therapeutic. We didn't have to rush to any attractions, making it perfect for families with kids or those looking for a quiet escape.
The hotel has a European castle style, and the high-ceilinged lobby with a crystal chandelier immediately sets a holiday mood upon entry. We were lucky enough to get a complimentary upgrade to a sea-view room. The room itself was generously sized, but the real highlight was the large balcony. Stepping out, you're greeted by an unobstructed view of Aoshan Bay. We enjoyed watching the sunrise from bed in the morning and the sunset over the sea in the evening – simply an amazing view. While some areas of the facilities showed a bit of age, the overall cleanliness and tidiness were quite good.
Downstairs, there's a beach where you can wade in the water or dig in the sand – the kids absolutely loved it. There's also an outdoor children's swimming pool, and hotel guests have unlimited access. Next to it, there's a small petting zoo, where feeding the animals easily fills up a whole day.

Guest UserMy stay at Westin this time was quite unique.
The staff were all very friendly. I arrived at the hotel early with my child, before 2 PM. The front desk kindly pre-assigned a room and allowed us to wait in the Executive Lounge until the room was cleaned, then issued the key card directly. We could also enjoy afternoon tea there. The Executive Lounge is on the 54th floor and offers excellent views. However, perhaps due to the hotel's age, some room facilities seemed old. They probably prioritize cleaning king-size rooms. The front desk initially gave me a room that they said had a leaking sound in the bathroom and was under repair. I immediately requested to switch rooms. After some time, they said it was fixed, then admitted that only the pipe was repaired and there was still a water sound. They also said there were no other vacant rooms of the same type, and other available rooms hadn't been cleaned yet. By this time, it was probably 4 PM. They took me to see the 'leaky' room. There was an obvious dripping sound in the bathroom. It might not be a problem during the day, but it would be annoying during sleep at night. Moreover, there were clear signs of water damage (swelling) on the bathroom ceiling from the leak. I still insisted on changing rooms. A manager came to resolve the issue, and her attitude was very good. She informed me that another room was being cleaned and would be ready in about twenty minutes, so I returned to the lounge to wait. Twenty minutes passed, and I also heard the female front desk staff in the lounge on the phone, helping me to urge them along. Finally, the key card was issued, and we checked in. They sent some small cookies and fruit to the room. My child was tired, so after checking in, she went to sleep with the lights off. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden, urgent doorbell sound. When I opened the door, there were two men, not in hotel uniforms! They said they needed to come in to check the blanket. I was a bit confused at first. I asked who reported the issue, as I knew nothing about it when I checked in. A female staff member in uniform passed by and mentioned some name to the maintenance workers, then asked me if it was convenient for them to come in and check for nails on the carpet! When I heard 'nails', I was furious. No one told me this room had a problem when I checked in, and no one told me someone would come to inspect the room after a repair request! For safety during my stay, the staff came in and felt around the carpet several times, saying it was fine, just a slightly sharp edge that needed caution. Okay, fine, they finally left.
On the day of checkout, I requested a late checkout until 1 PM. Around 12:40 PM, as I was doing a final check of the room and packing my luggage, the room door suddenly opened with a swipe, and a person who seemed to be a cleaner entered. Since I was standing facing the door, I came face-to-face with the woman, and I think we both froze for a few seconds. Then I said I hadn't checked out yet, and she apologized profusely and quickly exited the room. Perhaps the information between the front desk and housekeeping wasn't synchronized or something like that. It was the first time I'd encountered such a peculiar situation!
Overall, though, the hotel's location is very convenient, close to the Olympic Sailing Center and the Third Bathing Beach, and directly opposite MixC Mall. The breakfast is also very rich, and my child said she really liked it.
