I was in this hotel 20 years ago, and nothing has changed. The same carpet with flowers on the floor. The location is good, near the Labor Park.You can walk in the evenings. However, apart from the cable car, there are no more attractions there. But you can take a bus to Xinhai Square, Zoo, Seashell Beach. You can walk to the subway and Victoria Square. A big plus is a lot of cafes nearby.I took it because of the pool, but we went a couple of times, there are a lot of people, children's groups are engaged on two tracks.In August, it is very hot in Dalian and there are many Chinese tourists, it is not worth going there in the summer, it is difficult to enjoy the heat and the shop on the tour.
