Yiyang Huatian Hotel

Rooms had a large king sized bed, many pillows. Rooms were attractive but not "chinese" looking - if not for the chinese writing on the directory and phone, you could have been in a nice european hotel. I did not find any odor of smoking unlike other reviewers. I understand that one tower has western toilets and the other Chinese - if this is an issue, I would specificy with your reservation. My colleagues were very happy withe the buffet but be aware western does not mean croissants, scrambled eggs, etc. The token western items were coffeeand some generic cereal. The remainder of the food is chinese - western has to do with it being presented buffet and not served at a round table. One dinner we were at the Huation restaurant - fancy, more formal presentation. My only complaints is that the carpets were stained (not dirty - the room was very clean) and that the airconditioning is suboptimal. Plan on bringing a spare plastic card to run the air conditioner when you are out of the room, otherwise the room never gets cool.
