Stayed at the Jen Feng for 8 nights while adopting our daughter. * Staff is very friendly and helpful. Limited English with some staff members, but it doesn't take long to find an english speaker. * 25+ story modern Hotel was in the city, but not near any major shopping areas * 10 minute cab ride to a nice multi-city block pedestrian area with McDonalds, KFC, and other nice, modern stores * 15 minute cab ride to Wal-Mart and large shopping area around it. * Hotel was nicely appointed - Marriott quality fixtures and trim. * Major renovation underway to be completed in early 2007 - pool, lobby, and most dining rooms were all out of service. Hotel was using one makeshift dining area for breakfast/lunch/dinner buffet. * Breakfast buffet was average quality. Never ate lunch or dinner in hotel. *Room service was average, but very cheap. *Mini-bar is also very cheap, but there is a small grocery store just outside the hotel (across a small courtyard next to the restaurant described below - pop, candy, etc. is about 50% of mini-bar price) * Rooms are typical Chinese business class hotel - somewhat small, nicely appointed, nice linens, smallish VERY firm beds, TV (HBO is only english channel), wired high speed internet, safe. * Bathroom was also tight but good quality fixtures and included toothbrush, tooth paste, comb, razor, shaving cream, and two small complimentary bottles of water. * Excellent local restaurant in base of tall building just across a courtyard from the hotel - they have an English menu, but staff speaks very little English. Ask your translator/guide/hotel staff member to help you order. Ate there four times - very consistent and cheap - 5 adults, two babies, 10 bottled waters, 5 entrees cost about $18 U.S. or 140 Yuan-Renminbi * Advice: Walk back through the courtyard between the hotel and the restaurant and it opens into a quaint tree-lined street with local shops and residents going about everyday life. This is 'real' urban China - few tourists other than adoptive families. If you like to observe other cultures, the Jen Feng is a great place to stay. Wake up early to watch the area come to life - Tai Chi, badminton, etc. All in all, a good place to stay albeit a bit off the beaten path...
