Renjia Courtyard Business Hotel

The room is a little old, and not maintained very carefully: the carpet is not very clean, and there was a strong smell of cigarettes in my room. I requested a non-smoking room on the Trip.com app, so perhaps they didn't have any prepared at the time. The front desk ladies are friendly and welcoming, one of them helped me inquire about transportation options. They always have a smile which brightened my days as it was raining heavily everyday during my entire stay. This hotel provides things such as slippers, toothbrush and toothpaste, body wash, shampoo, and a small bar of soap. However, they do not provide bottled water, which was a first for me during all the hotels I've stayed at in China. You can get water downstairs for 2rmb. The location is right in the centre of the town, so it's close to restaurants and grocery stores. It's about a 45 minute drive to the Daqing Scenic area and the Goulaochang hike entrance. However, if you're like me and rely on public transportation, its better to arrange for a ride back with the driver that takes you there, since there's not a lot of drivers in Jinoeng who use the Didi rideshare app, and the scenic area is far from town so there's no taxis out there either. One thing that worried me about the hotel was when I found a small bug, which I suspected was a bedbug, on my body during a nap. I was told by the staff that they're just common grassland bugs, and for the duration of my stay, I haven't found any bug bites on me so I figured she's correct. I've attached a photo for those who may be concerned, but it's quite blurry as I couldn't get the camera to focus on something so small.
