4/10 Fair

Give it a miss
Hainan Hongyun was probably a landmark in its day: designed to resemble a sailing ship, the high-rise hotel is a nostalgic throwback to the early days of China's tourism boom. Now long in the tooth, the hotel's tawdry fixtures scream for renovation as do the dank hallways with cigarette-stained floors. The lobby serves as a triage area for incoming gaggles of guests and the restaurant and karaoke lounges do a roaring trade. But other than the location, which is within long-legged walking distance of Haikou's old town, it has little to offer the tired overseas guest.
