GGuest UserThe free extra bed for children in the Horizon Club was a huge plus; the room was spacious enough that it didn't feel cramped even with the added bed. However, during the May Day holiday, the Horizon Club canceled its à la carte breakfast, which felt a bit disingenuous. I specifically booked the Horizon Club for that, thinking the main restaurant would be crowded during the holiday, and I could enjoy a nice, quiet breakfast in the executive lounge. But without the à la carte option, the small buffet spread at the self-service counter felt incredibly basic. After grabbing some bread with my child, I ended up going down to the main restaurant to queue.
Overall, the Horizon Club is still worth it. It seems like it might have been recently renovated? The room facilities felt quite new, not old as some online reviews suggested. It also includes a simple dinner, which is great for seniors or children with sensitive stomachs. The late check-out was also very useful.
Speaking of the Shangri-La itself, the hotel's location is excellent for reaching many highly-rated restaurants on Dazhong Dianping, most within walking distance (under 1 km). However, there aren't many eateries right downstairs within 100 meters. If you're up for it, you can walk to Donggang. The hotel pool is also very nice and looked clean. The women's changing room even has two hot tubs, and I confirmed with a cleaning lady (when I happened to catch them changing the water at closing time) that these are refilled daily. The main restaurant's breakfast is quite rich, but it gets extremely crowded, and the seating is very cramped. During the May Day holiday, there was a queue, but staff were on hand to guide guests, so the order was maintained. The overall service level at the hotel is good, and the holiday surcharge wasn't too outrageous. Other hotels nearby, like 'Mou Duo Mou Ji,' were well over a thousand, so the old five-star still offers better value.
