Holiday Inn Shaoxing

Wide breakfast spread (good coffee), big bed, non smoking floor, 24hr self service laundry option

The hotel is in quite a good location. This Holiday Inn from reception to rooms is a bit run down, and in need of renovation and better room cleaning - I could see stains on furniture. I had stayed in other Holiday Inn hotels and this one looked the poorest. Anyway, was quite happy with breakfast.

Got there around CNY eve, so things were a bit on the quiet side. Parking was a bit chaotic at first with cars parked all along the entrance, it was not clear where to park until I went inside and asked. Check in was quick and to my pleasent surprise the checkin agent Gary spoke English very well. He was extemely helpful and and accomodating. He even explained that breakfast would be included because of CNY. The hotel was very clean, room was clean. The hotel is at a very good location, central to many important areas in Shaoxing. Breakfast was good and the staff very friendly. Check out was simple and the overnight parking fee was taken care by the hotel. Overall, the hotel has the quality, look and feel that you would expect from a Holiday Inn brand hotel. Would definitely recommend and will rebook in the future. Many families with kids too. Please note if traveling around CNY, certain restaurants etc may be closed for the holiday.
