Leida Hotel

My 2nd time in Dongtai, 1st time in Leida hotel. It looked good on the website. 1st impressions were good. Even though the staff spoke very limited English they checked me in efficiently (I do speak some Chinese but if you don't it's okay). The rooms are a good size and the big picture windows give great views over the public lake/park. the only downside was the faint aroma of stale cigarette smoke in the room but this is China and unfortunately to be expected. The downside was the breakfast was very Chinese and though I love the cuisine here I'm not a lover of Chinese breakfast. It would have been better if the cook knew how to make fried eggs in different styles than just solid yokes and they invested in a good coffee machine. The coffee was in a flask....and was white....I didn't even try the bit I poured into a cup. The positive is Wuyue Plaza is a 10 minute stroll and has a Starbucks and MacDonalds! I had a look at the gym and pool. Gym was 10 yuan, pool was 40. Both looked okay. The hotel grounds needed a bit of a tidy up but were okay. I couldn't find direct access into the lake/park area but then I was only there 2 nights. The big convenience was Wuyue Plaza. The top floor was restaurants. A decent selection. Towards the back on the outside walking street was a decent little bar (Black Vine). Nice manager, 8 craft beer taps, lots of bottled beer. Yes, I'd stay here again as it suited my purpose.

酒店環境很好，綠草如茵，像個大公園，周邊有商場，出行也很方便，離東台幾個景區都不遠，酒店服務也很好，很不錯！

之前出差一直住東台迎賓館川渝大酒店，這次換了這家。前台在4樓，可以直接看到湖景，房間入住後直接看到東台人民公園全景。早上在酒店綠化閑逛，有點遺憾的是酒店部分公園與東台人民公園被人為隔開不能至通，前往人民公園要繞路很遠。附近有吾悦廣場，餐飲很多。酒店1F有SPA游泳，1樓餐廳巨實惠菜量大類似山東菜。下次去東台還考慮入住這家。
