is that there is NOTHING around this hotel. It's situated in the Ma-Wei neighborhood and cabs won't even take you their without additional fare because they know there will not be a return fare for them.
If you want to leave the HoJo, it's another joke. Since there are no taxis, you must take their "hotel car" which is just code for jacked up prices.
I do quite a bit of business travel in China, and the partner company that opened this HoJo is ridiculous. They have a policy where one room can have only two bottles of free water, any additional waters then are charged. If you want to sit in the bar area to work and take advantage of the wi-fi in the lobby, you'll get charged. It's essentially an extortion scheme under the guise of a 5-Star property.
The hotel is nice though, the pool is very impressive, but it does not make up for the nickel and dime they try to dig out of you at every turn. I don't mind paying for things that I request at a 5 star, that's a given, but here it seems as though the most basic creature comforts have a price on them.
I'd highly recommend the Westin 5 mins down the street. It's connected to a GIANT Wanda plaza with lots of shopping and food. All you're going to get at the HOJO is wannabe international cuisine and a serious tab upon checkout. This place tries way too hard but comes up significantly short.
