Absolutely outstanding hotel! The staff made it one of the best short trips I have ever taken. After arriving late at night, the front desk upgraded my room and gave me a free plate of apples. The room itself was excellent, with a very modern new bathroom and a comfortable, spacious bed.
Breakfast is delicious, with a wide range of dishes available, including lots of pickled vegetables.
After checking out on the last day, I was caught in a thunderstorm, but the staff let me come back to change and dry off anyway, which was very kind of them. Overall, one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at, and certainly the nicest staff!

Close to the train station. Free breakfast better than expected. The best part is the water pressure in the shower. I would come back here.

At first I booked another hotel but was disappointed with their cleanliness and the room smelled very bad. So I canceled it and booked this hotel. Overall I had a great experience and highly recommend it to travelers. As a marketing and tourism professional, I am completely satisfied with the hotel service. I also wrote them a personal note about my feelings. Check in and check out was very friendly and nice. Thanks again for providing excellent services. I hope you will maintain the same attitude towards other travellers also. Finally, a personal thank you for heating my food twice. Best wishes for hotel staffs.
The only friendly suggestion I have for them is regarding the breakfast menu. Please also more vegetable dishes and cookies. Most dishes are mixed with meat (Pork). Sorry, I had some reservation about meat so I didn't prefer the dishes. In fact, I ate egg tarts, bread with butter and drink a cup of coffee. I hope you guys will work on this. Overall, there are plenty of meal options for those who eat meat (pork) at breakfast. Thank you.

Great service and location. Very close to the train station. Room is very clean. Breakfast buffet is good enough. The only thing I was concerned about is the thin wall in between two rooms. I could hear the guest’s cough and phone conversation from the next room in the middle of the night. Would be good to request for a room near no other guests.

1. Dandong's traffic is relatively poor, and the road is particularly difficult to walk on. The highway is closed for construction and needs to go around the mountains. The road is extremely narrow, so friends should pay attention to safety.
2. The check-in experience is average. The rooms with the same name are not only not together, but also separated by several floors. The front desk said that I arrived late. . . First of all, I booked a room under one name, and arranged it very far away for us. Is it because I arrived late? This arrangement is unreasonable. She blamed me for arriving late. . . Besides, do I want to be late? If your highway is open to traffic, I am willing to arrive late?
3. The defect in the room facilities is that there is no big shower, only a small shower head. You all know how dirty the small shower head is. In addition, the shower head in my room is still crooked, and the water comes out horizontally. It can be washed.
4. The toiletries are filled... I dare not use it, I must bring my own shampoo, conditioner and shower gel
5. The carpet is not very clean, it is better not to lay it. It is all Olin
6. The air conditioner cannot be timed, and there is no remote control. The remote control is on the wall. I can't sleep without turning on the air conditioner. If I turn it on and fall asleep, I have to get up in the middle of the night to turn it off. It is not very convenient.
7. The hotel parking space has limited reception capacity, so choose carefully. Otherwise, according to the hotel's arrangement, if you park at the Cultural Palace opposite, you will be scolded by the security guard of the Cultural Palace.

Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for choosing to stay at Holiday Inn Express Dandong Center. We are very sorry that you were not satisfied with your stay. We feel deeply guilty for the inconvenience you encountered and understand your dissatisfaction. The relevant situation is explained as follows: Recently, some roads in Dandong were washed away by heavy rain, resulting in road closures and detours. We are deeply sorry for the impact on your trip. During this stay, the passenger flow was large, and the guest rooms were tight and we were unable to arrange adjacent rooms for you. The front desk staff failed to explain properly during the communication. We will strengthen training to improve our service capabilities. The shower room does have only a hand-held shower. For the problem of the crooked shower head in your room, we have arranged to investigate and rectify it to ensure normal use; the toiletries are uniformly standard for InterContinental Hotels Group, and the quality is guaranteed. You can use them with confidence. Because the ground is slippery due to rain, waterproof carpets are laid in the lobby to prevent slipping. We will increase the frequency of cleaning the carpets in the guest rooms. The hotel is equipped with central air conditioning and uses a whole-house intelligent system. The air conditioning can be controlled by Xiaodu. If you need to adjust it, you can also contact the front desk for assistance. When the parking lot is full, we will guide guests to the Cultural Palace parking lot opposite and reimburse you for the parking fee. We will communicate and coordinate with the Cultural Palace security guards to avoid similar situations. We apologize again for this poor experience. We will make improvements item by item and look forward to having the opportunity to make up for the shortcomings. I wish you a happy journey and all the best! Holiday Inn Express Guest Care Team

During the summer vacation, the room rates of all hotels in Dandong have increased. This hotel is cost-effective, with convenient parking, quiet surroundings, and close proximity to tourist attractions. It also provides free self-service laundry services.

The hotel is very close to the train station and not far from major attractions. The hotel facilities are relatively new, the smart toilets and smart speakers are very convenient, the rooms are clean and tidy, and the bedding is hygienic and comfortable. The hotel's underground parking lot is not large, but you can park at the Cultural Palace opposite the hotel, which is very convenient for self-driving.

I took my children on a trip during the May Day holiday, and after careful selection, I chose Holiday Inn Express. I believe in this brand. Before arriving at the store, I received a call from the service staff asking if I had any requirements, and they were all met when I checked in. The two breakfasts originally included were upgraded to include the children's breakfast. The front desk and service staff were also very attentive and enthusiastic. The citizens of Dandong are also very enthusiastic.

The quality of the security guards in the Cultural Palace parking lot opposite the hotel is too poor. They curse and swear. Please be careful when parking. ⚠️

Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for taking the time to share the relevant situation. We are deeply sorry that you had a bad experience with the security guard at the Cultural Palace parking lot. After learning about this, we immediately communicated with the person in charge of the Cultural Palace parking lot. Northeastern friends are straightforward and speak in a more direct way, which may have caused misunderstandings in communication. We have also suggested that the other party pay more attention to the gentleness and decency of communication in the service. The hotel will continue to pay attention to the surrounding supporting services and strive to create a more comfortable environment for guests. Thank you for your reminder, and wish you a pleasant journey and all the best! Holiday Inn Express Guest Care Team
