Poly Hotel

Near the subway, easy to travel anywhere around. Hotel facilities are old, smelly or even broken (bathroom). Room is quite small and old decorations with some smell.

I don't stay in many 4 star or 4.5 star hotels, so this was a treat. Lots of room, awesome Queen size bed, little things like a DND sign you can set from the bed, glass panels for the shower & toilet add an extra level of intimacy. (I was sure this hotel advertised a tub, but none was available) Couldn't access via the front of the building for the first two days and had to use the service entrance (couldn't leave as I'm not a Chinese national and my background couldn't be checked, for first night due to there being a Gov't conference that wasn't booked when I booked)

Pros: Shower (no tub!), bedroom, location

Cons: I found a nail on the carpet next to my side of the bed.

Location: Close to bus stops and subway. Fairly central to Wuhana.

If there were any problems with this hotel they were minor enough that I don't remember them. I was expecting to be the only westerner staying here, but was thrilled to arrive at a lobby full of couples from the U.S. with their newly-adopted children. One of the concierges, Mr. Zhang, who helped me buy a train ticket, was especially courteous and friendly, and made me feel at home there.

Pros: Friendly atmosphere

Cons: The reason for not giving excellent is the hotel is showing its age a little bit, and the windows did not insulate well against outside noise.

Location: This hotel is close to a subway station, so it was easy to go just about anywhere.
