It WAS a 5 star hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/25/11
I regularily stay at the Ferrington about 4 times a year.
When I first started visitnig the hotel in 2007, it was quite nice. Rooms were fresh and the standard was quite high. However, buildings are not built to last in China. Over the last year, the hotel is showing major signs of aging and is on the decline... including rooms is showing major signs of water damage, mold, faulty airconditioning, funny smells, worn out furnature and assessories, etc.etc.
What is great is that the restaurant (international selection) is open 24/7, and the staff are very pleasant. They also have great rates on dry cleaning, so bring your suits for a press and clean!
As the selection of hotels in Weifang are not fantastic, I still recommend the hotel to international visitors.
