Jining Hotels with Pools

The hotel environment is very good, very spacious and convenient for parking, the front desk service is very good, the room is clean and tidy, the bedding is comfortable, warm and thoughtful, and the location is convenient. Clean and clean, no dead ends, complete facilities, good sound insulation, sleep soundly, and very cost-effective. The front desk checked in very quickly, the attitude was good, the room was spacious and bright, and the overall experience was very satisfactory. The location is excellent, the travel is convenient, the room is spotless, the stay is very safe, and I will come next time.

The room is clean and tidy, the decoration is unique, and the facilities are complete. Because it is the Spring Festival, the hotel specially provided a fruit plate. The room was upgraded to the south side with a small courtyard for free. The housekeeper Qi Tiantian arranged by the hotel is very responsible and contacted the attractions in time Pick-up and drop-off vehicles are available at the scenic spot, and the scenic spot tour activities are arranged.

The landscaping at this JW Marriott is quite beautiful. However, the room facilities are a bit dated. The shower had mold and old water stains, and water easily leaked out onto the floor. Service experience was inconsistent: during check-in, the front desk staff barely made eye contact and didn't offer information about kids' activities or inquire about children's amenities, even though I was traveling with a child. The auntie at the noodle station during breakfast was also rather indifferent. On the positive side, housekeeping was excellent; they proactively brought bath salts and bath bags after check-in and asked if I needed anything else. Other hotel staff members were also very friendly and helpful. A major downside was the abundance of mosquitoes in the summer; many flew in as soon as the balcony door was opened. The room's air conditioning couldn't be adjusted lower, so it was too hot to sleep with a blanket, but without one, I ended up with many mosquito bites on my legs. The complimentary Hanfu photoshoot experience was a highlight – the makeup artist was patient, and I was very happy with the final photos, which added a lot to the overall trip.

The hotel is visually stunning, tastefully decorated with authentic elements of local culture and great attention to detail in both style and functionality. The establishment shows a surprising amount of facilities that span from a quality swimming pool and gym to lounge bars, restaurants, a garden with orchard and stables, shops, event areas with proper separation that makes it lively yet never noisy or chaotic. It is rare to find a hotel that is suitable for both couples and families but Shangri-la did it perfectly. Cleanliness and customer service are as you would expect from a hotel of this category. Breakfast although pricey compared to other options in the area was mostly worth the dime and never excessively crowded. Special mention to the lounge bar that beats every local option on every level, surprisingly including prices. We went bar hopping after the lounge bar and we're shocked to find that local bars were charging twice or three times as much for much lower quality drinks and environment compared to ShangriLa.

I highly recommend the Nishan Academy Hotel. It's a garden-style hotel with a shuttle service from the front desk to the rooms. They also offer shuttle buses to Nishan Sacredland and Luyuan Village. The breakfast is high quality. I suggest staying two nights to have a more relaxed experience. Generally, a butler will add you on WeChat and respond promptly to your needs. We stayed in a mountain-view garden room, and the window view was beautiful. On a rainy day, looking out at Nishan shrouded in mist, my child said, 'It reminds me of a poem: 'Where white clouds gather, there are homes.' The mountain-view garden twin rooms cannot be combined (there's a hanging nightstand in the middle that can't be moved). If you're worried about children falling off the bed, you can use a large chair to push against the side of the bed. I heard that the twin beds in the villas can be combined, but with one room and one small courtyard, ordering two rooms for our trip felt less convenient with two separate courtyards, and it was also more expensive. I really liked the breakfast at Nishan Academy Hotel and their Yatang Chinese restaurant; I found them more palatable than places in Qufu city. I recommend checking room types and offerings on multiple platforms and the hotel's official WeChat account. I prefer the 'room + breakfast for two' package and not the ones that include tickets. Although Nishan Sacredland and Luyuan Village are quite large and commuting can be inconvenient, the complimentary dual-park tickets (usually valid for 2 days, with two entries to Nishan Sacredland and one to Luyuan Village) were generally sufficient. However, unlimited entry tickets offer more peace of mind, and more importantly, they aren't expensive.
