Best in Dandong, but just o.k. otherwise
Many of the non-smoking rooms smelled like smoke, but the hotel worked with me to change rooms until I found one with the smoke smell.

The Best Hotel and view of Dandong's up coming way
wonderful , marvelous that China could share with ME .. My stay in China was way tooo short and the Media of the World doesn't give Dandong enough credit on living in the 21st century , while looking across the YALO River into North Korea and seeing almost no construction to help their economy. I would and will come back to see some very nice people in Dandong and a new Love that has no comparison ...

Clean comfortable hotel, great service
We stayed in this recently-built hotel for a few days while travelling around China. The hotel is located right near the scenic waterfront where you can stroll and check out the lights set up around the river. However, this location is a bit away from the city center -- most tourist attractions are accessible by a short taxi ride. The building is new and has a grand feel to it. The rooms were very clean and we found the service very helpful, having ordered in-room breakfast and asked for a replacement of towels. While we haven't had a chance to try the spa, we did try each of the several restaurants on premises, and particularly liked the Chinese-themed restaurant on the first floor. Free Wifi works in rooms and in the lobby, but was sometimes a bit spotty -- wired internet connection in the room worked well, though. In general, great hotel for the value.

Very good hotel.
This is a pretty nice hotel. The rooms are modern, clean, and confortable. However, they still do not offer in-room wi-fi. The restaurants are ok, but as is expected in Chinese hotels, they are extremely over priced. You're better served eating at a local restaurant anyway. The same is true of their spa. While the hotel is a little bit outside of the town center, the staff was always willing to call up a cab for me and taxi rates are still pretty cheap in Dandong. Overall, I'd stay there again if I ever pass back through the area.

Crowne Plaza Dandong - A pleasant place to stay
The breakfast buffet had a good range of choices and catered for most tastes. The swimming pool was excellent and was a very welcome destination on most of the days we were at the hotel. The staff were helpful, but limited in their ability to help because of their generally poor English language skills.

Great hotel in wonderful part of China
A lovely hotel in the region and well worth staying at the cost. I spent two nights here in a window room overlooking the Yalu and into DPRK. Just amazing.
Staff were wonderful and helpful, although not always knowledgeable regarding the area. They even bargained with a taxi for me.
Perhaps the greatest failing of this hotel is the map provided on the website. I walked for three hours before eventually finding the hotel. Best bet is to get the address in Chinese and give to a taxi driver. It's about a 10 minute ride from the railway station.

Nice and new
Problem is with overall service experience. Staff is not well trained. Breakfast area is filled with smokers and there is no designated non-smoking section. Breakfast in the morning is also like a mob scene. It shows how the staffers are poorly trained. Front desk also refused to provide invoice which is really odd saying we have to ask Expedia for Chinese invoice...

Surprisingly good hotel
Arrived to Dandong expecting a basic hotel and was surprised at the quality of the room and hotel in general. The front desk folks were very helpful and efficient. The room while quite small was very modern and clean. The hotel is not quite in city centre but it's very cheap to get a taxi. Dinner in the restaurant was average at best. Breakfast was good though.
트윈베드로 예약하고 갔으나 당일 단동에서 전국 농구대회가 있어 선수 및 관계자들로 일반 객실이 전부 입실 완료되어 운좋게 제일 윗층인 26층의 스위트룸을 이용할 수 있어 호사스럽게 지냈다. 전체적인 설비 및 서비스는 매우 좋으나 조식 뷔페는 다른 시설에 비해 많이 떨어진다. 그리고 실내 수영장은 크고 좋았다
