Days Inn Dongmen - Feedback

Hi everyone,





Just got back from staying at this hotel. If you want to be in Dongmen, then great location, outstanding rooms/suites, very reasonably priced, spacious suites, good room service, very clean etc... only issue was that when we booked, we specifically asked for a bed for the 3rd person (a teenager) - not a fold out bed/rollaway as we were staying for 5 nights.





When we arrived, a fold out was provided, at an additional amount of $180 RMB per night which was not agreed to. They confirmed that the room could accommodate 3 people (couple and teenager) but failed to mention the additional price. In the end, we only had the roll away for 1 night as it was ROCK/GRANITE hard so our teenager preferred the comfy couch!!





I didn%26#39;t feel 150% safe in the area and preferred to head out with hubby rather than on my own which I%26#39;m usually very happy to do.





The area has a serious number of beggars which do not accept a simple no or a wave but continue to ';shadow'; you. This didn%26#39;t just happen there - it happened near Lowu Commercial Centre also so I dont want to give people an incorrect impression.





If you are interested in seeing other things to what you get in Lowu, then its a great alternative for a night or two but I would have preferred to have stayed near Lowu again.





Days Inn Lowu or the Railway Hotel Shenzhen would have been in a similar price range. We paid $588 RMB plus tax for a suite which I would describe as deluxe!





Taxi from here was $12.50-ish to Lowu Commercial Centre. Didn%26#39;t take the train, but the station was about 100 metres from the hotel door and it was only 2 stops away. The China Mail centre was also only a few metres away which would have been handy if we needed to post stuff home.





All in all, very nice, friendly etc....





Oh - bed was comfy, unlike most others in China where they are usually rock hard!
