DDark Lord CI stayed at Linyi Yihe Hotel (Jinjiang) / 临沂大剧院沂河宾馆(锦江) from 22–25 January, and I honestly left thinking, “Yes, this is how a hotel should be run.”
First impressions were strong: the lobby felt fresh and well-kept, and check-in was quick with staff who were polite without being overly formal. The room was spotless and thoughtfully set up for an easy, comfortable stay. The bed was genuinely good, the shower felt new and powerful, and little details like the heated smart toilet made winter mornings far less grim than usual. 
What I appreciated most was how practical everything was. There’s a self-service laundry room and a gym, which is a real bonus on a short trip, and even takeaway deliveries are handled smoothly with a delivery robot, so you don’t end up hovering around reception. 
Despite being near the Grand Theatre and a main road, the room stayed pleasantly quiet at night, so sleep wasn’t an issue.  Breakfast was a solid buffet, not flashy, but reliable and well-managed, with staff keeping things topped up. 
Overall, it felt clean, calm, and competently staffed—excellent value for money, and I’d happily book it again.

We have travelled extensively across various cities in China, both big and small, and this is the only hotel that has required such procedures, which we feel *seriously infringe on our privacy*. This made us very uncomfortable, and we are genuinely concerned about how our personal data might be used or stored.
We were only staying for a few hours before leaving at dawn to catch an early flight the next morning.
