Description

The staff is very courteous, and the decor is very nice (even the fake LED candles on the tables), coupled of course with the delectable waft of Chinese cuisine.

Tips

• The surrounding area is an almost completely Chinese neighborhood. The hotel and neighborhood seem like you just stepped into China for a moment. The hotel is quite nice though.
• Pictures are available here.
• There are 2 underground parking lots right past the hotel, (about $3 an hour at the farther one). There is also underground parking at the hotel. It's convenient but a bit more expensive, around $8 for 2 hours, but may be well worth it as the 2nd one closes at 11PM sharp without warning, so if you are a few minutes late to pick up your car, you will have to arrange a new method of returning you and your date to your respective homes (has happened). There is also an outdoor lot directly across from the hotel with muni-meters which accept credit cards. It is often crowded, but a short wait for a spot to open up could save you a good few dollars. (Tip: Follow people who look like they are walking to their cars.)
• Although during the day there are some Asian shops and a large lounge/restaurant on the lower level, after about 9pm they close the lower level and the only decent place to sit is in the small bar area located straight ahead when you walk in. There is a TV in one corner of the room but it's quite on the far end, and if you don't speak Mandarin the other conversations will not be distracting.
• The lounge area in the top floor is small, but it's a pleasant atmosphere. If it's too crowded for you there, you can go downstairs to the Chinese restaurant and sit on the lounge couches in the corner. This is nice and private, as the restaurant can be completely empty. It's okay to just order drinks downstairs, though please tip properly to the wait staff.
• They are currently renovating the nicer area downstairs. It can be crowded during weekends, and you may not be able to find any place to sit, so be careful.
