"Hotel experience review: affordable but need to tolerate small shortcomings, suitable for short-term budget stay
Posted on August 03, 2025, based on the recent experience of staying
General comment impression
Overall score: ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5 points)
The biggest highlight of this hotel is the ”super cost-effective”, especially suitable for affordable backpackers, short-distance business people or family self-driving groups. Convenient location (near the city center or main road), convenient stay. But if you have high requirements for sleep environment, you may need to prepare in advance; Breakfast is slightly monotonous, it is recommended to adjust expectations. In exchange for a low price for ”basic functionality + parking worry-free”, it is generally worth a try ~ especially the price of 200 yuan a night is rare under the current price (most hotels in the same location are more than 300 yuan).
Detailed analysis (goods and disadvantages, priority message complete item)
I analyzed in depth from four dimensions of sound insulation, price, parking and breakfast, each combining personal experience and speculating on potential pain points (such as the impact of noise on travelers) to try to be detailed:
1. Affordable price: core advantages, full cost performance
- Advantages: The price is absolutely ”excellent value for money”, and the daily price of the double standard room is only 198 yuan/night (referential price in August 2025), more than 30% lower than the surrounding competitions. This is a boon for budget-sensitive users - the money saved can be used for other travel expenses (such as attraction tickets or food experience). The front desk service is simple but efficient, with no hidden charges (even Wi-Fi is free), reflecting the pragmatic style of budget hotels.
- Disadvantages or points of attention: Cheap is inevitable: room facilities are simple (such as old furniture but cleanliness is acceptable), not suitable for those who pursue luxury. Potential demand angle suggestions: affordable prices are often accompanied by peak fullness, it is recommended to book in advance during peak season.
2. Poor sound insulation: maximum soft ribs, need to take the initiative to deal with
- Detailed problem: The sound insulation does collapse the wall thin, the sound of footsteps in the corridor and the sound of the TV next door is clear and audible (especially after 10 o'clock in the night). I was awakened twice by the guest next door chatting loudly one night, affecting the quality of sleep (business guests need to pay attention to this). Reasons to speculate: old buildings or insufficient sound insulation (commonly seen in old budget hotels).
- Relief advice: With sub-noise reduction earplugs or white noise app (such as small sleep) can be resolved. Choosing a high-rise corner room type will be slightly better (try to apply at the front desk). Cross-domain perspective: City center hotels are often noisy due to traffic or passenger flow, but the noise level of this hotel is still ”tolerable”, not overnight construction level.
- Balance point: If the price is preferred, this small shortcoming is a ”fair deal”. For example, the money saved for two nights is enough to buy a professional earplug, no loss!
3. Convenient parking: full convenience, strong push for self-driving tour
- Advantages: Parking is a surprise there are plenty of free parking spaces on the ground (no reservation required), parking spaces are loose (even if the SUV can be easily parked), and 24-hour security guards are on duty. The entrance is right next to the hotel and it takes no more than 1 minute to drag luggage. For self-driving people, this saves the trouble of finding a parking space (the parking fee in the city center often starts at 50 yuan/day).
- Improvement space: No underground garage, rainy days need to trot into the lobby. But for most users, this convenience of ”stop and go” is worth the fare. Potential demand insight: combined with affordable prices, it is especially suitable for short weekend trips save parking fees and add a big meal!
4. Breakfast is more single: more than filling the stomach, insufficient richness
- Description of the problem: Breakfast options are really limited - basic buffet - with steamed buns, porridge, eggs, a few pickles and instant coffee, no hot fry or fruit (even breads are bagged). Tired of eating for two days, especially suitable for Chinese appetite but disappointed passengers who expect Western or diversity.
- Causes and suggestions: low-cost hotels often streamline catering costs. Solution: Use parking to drive to the nearby early stalls (there are well-known buns shops within 5 minutes drive) or bring your own dry food. Advantages: supply on time (6:30-9:30), no crowding or grabbing.
Summary and Use Recommendations
This hotel is a typical ”no concealment” case - if your core needs are money saving + convenient parking (such as short-distance trips for a family of three or reimbursement for travel), it can score 80 points; but if you value sleep quality or food experience, you need to be cautious. Comprehensive recommendation:
- Applicable to: young backpackers, business one-day turnover, self-driving short-term residents.
- Avoiding pit tips:
- Take the initiative to reduce noise in the upper or end rooms when you check in.
- Breakfast can be skipped and local snacks are tasted outside (time-saving and rich).
- Check in early on weekends to occupy parking spaces, avoid peak noise after 8pm.
- Final decision: At this price, I will give a ”recommend a try” evaluation - it proves that the benefits are not equal to the simple, but the choice of wise consumption. If I live again later, I will still give priority, after all, parking freedom + low price win-win in the city is too rare!"
