Xi'an Bell Tower

Front desk was helpful. They provided bread, jam and OJ, at no charge, when I requested for it because I had an upset stomach. Was glad to see the Toto washlet type toilet. The cleaning staff was good. The hotel was fine in almost all aspects except for two issues. Whenever I walked into my room I smelled something odd, perhaps from past cigarette smoke, even though it was a nonsmoking room. The smell would vanish in a minute or two when I switched on the AC. I think I had a room with a suite so the room was separated into two parts by a panel running about half of the width of the room, and there was a TV hung on this panel. Frankly, the room would appear more spacious if this dividing panel was not present, and I don’t watch TV when traveling. There was also a shelf hanging half way down the ceiling, in the middle of the room. I could not figure out why it was there. The room would appear more spacious without it.

Overall, it was a good experience. Breakfast was great! The air conditioning wasn't working well, but it was later fixed.
