Motel 168 Dalian Youhao Square Inn

China's policy of asking hotels to report foreigners' stay to local authorities eliminated about 80% to 90% of hotels that are willing to take in foreigners. This is one of the few hotels that are accepting foreigners and are not of a global hotel chain (eg Marriott/Westin/Hilton). Situated and tucked away on a side street at YouHao (友好广场), this hotel is around many awesome downtown sightseeing spots and banks. A lot of good massage parlors, facials and the famous 洗浴中心 （public bath house/spa/entertainment center/restaurant all in one). Service has been incredibly friendly and thoughtful. Attitude was professional. This is a well run hotel. Rare to foreigners at a fair price (booked through travel app 携程）for additional discount. They apparently also have a laundry room that you can use at 15th floor. Good for longer stay. They also keep a robot in hotel delivering takeouts with room number as the passcode preventing stealing. So convenient I have found my new choice at my hometown for future visits. This is a good find
