I often stay at the Panyu Hotel while doing research there. It has a lovely garden, its own Starbucks and is in the center of Shiqiao. The rooms in the main building are updated and very good. Those in other buildings (such as Friendship) are much cheaper, dated, a few stains on the carpet but still clean and acceptable. The Chinese restaurants are good, especially for dim sum but Western restaurant mediocre. Direct bus to HK leaves from the hotel, so no need to return to GZ.
