Good internet connection, so-so english speaking staff, ok american food, poor movie selection, felt like an average best western in USA. I was repeatedly warned by my china counterparts that the area is dangerous due to the train/bus station near by attracting pick-pockets, theives, etc. They said the day time is fine, but night time is not good.
I was staying here in January '08 and was very disappointed. This hotel represented extremely poor value and we received the usual disinterested one expects in China, but not in an allegedly 5 Star facility. It's extremely run-down, and has an oddly police-state construction. It is almost impossible to enter as it's protected by boom ...
But do not like the bunch of beggers following me when I walk to MacDonalds.
But taxis got stuck at the bottle neck traffic every day when I was going north to any Shenzhen factories.
Cannot use their business center computers. Too slow. Unable to find any internet cafe nearby.

Staff helpful to an extent. Poor English skills are ...
I had stayed in quite a few 5-stars hotels in Shenzhen. Best Western Shenzhen Felicity can be rated 5-stars in most areas but the rooms are sorely needed for more upgrading. Restuarant food is so-so though there is a great music lounge at the front lobby.

Best Western Shenzhen Felicity Hotel, China
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/15/04
I stayed 3 nights in Oct 04. Very good accommodation; 2x large twin beds in large room; very clean & comfortable & recently renovated rooms although some bathrooms need cosmetic updating. Excellent views from 21st floor room. Close to train station and major shopping. All staff very helpful and basic English spoken and understood. Will definitely return.
