Pros:
Duty managers and Desk managers are well trained with excellent English. I was very unpleasant from the moment I arrived because I was running a fever and hadn't had a shower since my neighbourhood lost water early the day before. The queen of grumpy, I must admit. None of the staff ever lost their cool and actually, by the time she was through with me, the night duty manager Eva had won me over. Until she worked her magic, I was sure I was justified in my irritation for the lack of free wi-fi. But, she had her staff trawl the hotel for an extra long LAN cord so I could surf in bed. She even had them take the time to carefully clean it before connecting it. By the time she was through, I was feeling like a real heel for being so unpleasant and finally realised that the hotel was actually quite nice.
The room, the bed, the furnishings are clean and comfortable. The executive floor lounge is peaceful with helpful staff and a generous happy hour buffet of snacks.
If you are seeking a location for a business conference, I have found in the past, on several occasions, the manager and staff to be very accommodating with my organisation's needs for special events and meetings.
The view, on a clear day, from both sides of the hotel is the best view I have experienced in Xi'an. The mountains looked magnificent from my hotel room and as the hotel is situated perpendicular to the mountains, I would imagine that every guest enjoyed the same vista.
