Good stay in Kunming with easy access to attractions.
Pros:

I enjoyed the location and the comfort of rooms. The breakfast was okay. It's nearby a park about 30min walk away and a bunch of little shops.

Cons:

I would have liked the option to have western food and not just Chinese for lunch or dinner in the restaurant that is connected to it.

Good value stay
Pros:

Friendly staff, easy check-in. Good value stay. No problems at all. It is in the middle of town so make sure that is where you want to be..

Cons:

Locals don't get the non-smoking side of things, people smoking on our floor. Hotels really need non-smoking levels and enforce it better. Very hot in our room as well.

Pros:

Staff was great. Even though they don’t serve dinner, they made sure we got it. They translated for us and ordered carry out from a restaurant nearby. Breakfast was an absolute amazing smorgasbord with great variety.

Clean, lovely staff, very good service.
Pros:

The staffs are very helpful, the breakfast is good, and it is very clean.

Cons:

There is no refrigerator or fruit like Holiday Inn branches in other cities. Water is limited, but at the end of the day they give 4 bottles. Breakfast should start at 6:30.
