Shenzhen hotels near International Foreign Trade Center

Cons: Although my room rate was quite reasonable (possibly due to corporate negotiations, all of the on site restaurants are ridiculously expensive. Dinner can easily cost an much for one person as the nightly room rate, and it would be impossible for two to eat dinner for less than the nightly rate.

Cons: A bit far from the metro station, even-though there is a new one opening 50 meters away in the forceable future. (no the hotels fault though).

Cons: No swimming pool

Cons: I didn't expect everyone to speak amazing English, but I did expect that the check-in staff would know the words "Convention Center" considering they are a two blocks away and listed as a preferred hotel for one of the largest convention centers in the world. In fact most of the staff didn't know the words -- which is surprising to me. Our "non-smoking" room had a smell that I can't quite describe in words. Something like moldy bread with and cigarettes mixed with decaying animal. It was very unpleasant. The club staff was decent but operated on a 3.5 star level, not 5 star - like they Shangri-La chain should. They just did the minimum's with a bit of attitude and a feeling that your presence was not totally welcome.

Cons: live band from the bar next to the hotel played music through mid night! on Friday night.

Cons: Mezzo, the in-house Italian restaurant, was a big disappointment. Overpriced and just very mediocre food. Super slow elevators and dark, dated rooms. Disappointing stay overall.
