There are shuttle buses from all 3 stations to the airport. Jinan East station should be the nearest one. It says there is a shuttle bus runs around every 30min from this east station to the airport and passenger who hold a rail ticket for that day can take it for free.

The hotel is closer to the main station at No. 2 Tai'an Road, Shinan District. You can take city bus No. 307 or g3 to Weihailu or you can take taxi which takes around CNY20.

It is at No. 1 North Minghu Street, just next to the Daminghu Lake. It is about 5km between Jinan station and this Daminghu station. You may take BRT No. 5 or taxi directly.
