Big choice of cafes. Night club is opposite. Ticket office (including railway) is between entrances to the hotel (only 5Y surcharge). I’ve booked room through one of booking service. At reception girls were unable to find reservation. After 30 minutes their conversation with back office they proposed me a room and requested deposit in amount of full accommodation + 450Y. I had booked room for 36USD (200Y including service fee) and I found this room too small for 2 guests for a week. I changed room to bigger one. 250Y including service fee). Room equipped with bed 2*1,8; desk; wide windowsill; 3 pegs instead of wardrobe; chair; 2*bedside table; Cattle + 2 caps; mosquitoes fumigator; air condition, LAN cable with free internet; hair drier; Flat TV with Chinese TV; 2*sleepers . Mosquito screens on a windows. Laminated material covers floor. No refrigerator, No deposit box. Towels are changed daily. Iron is under request. 2*0.5l of water, 2 bags of green tea, fumigators slice; shampoo + shower gel are for free. No breakfast. The bed is very tough (very comfortable for me). Cleaning is so-so. I bought sponge with detergent to clean some surfaces. There is a noise from outside from 6AM (car horns). Earplugs are helpful. Bed lining, towels are like new white and without halls. No smelling. Hotel staff is helpful despite the poor English. I recommend using Google Translate. (there is the PC connected to Internet at reception area). I with wife was booked this hotel to go to a beach for a week and we are fully satisfied with our choice. QinHuanDao is cheaper that Beidahe, Beach opposite Safari (Wildlife) park is more comfortable and cleaner that Beidahe. Tips: Taxi from rairoad station is 11Y; Hotel Entrance is marked by green steeker. (39.93290, 119.60094). Google maps have offset. See on www.openstreetmap.org. On Google Satellite maps, coordinates are (39.932862, 119.601148); to get to the beach I recommend to take bus 34 from other side of the building, another side of the street (South-West direction). Bus is going to Beidahe along the seaside. Take off the bus at the Safari (Wildlife) park (39.85467, 119.51898).

The same bus is going to Shanhaiguan Pass of Great Wall (40.00199, 119.75426); Buffet restaurant (49Y including beer) is on the corner 10 meters left from the hotel entrance.
