I stayed at what might be the best value Marriott hotel in the world in Qufu.

🌟 Highlights: The hotel was designed by Mr. Cui Kai, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. This masterpiece pays homage to traditional Chinese architecture, combining the ancient charm of Qufu with modern 21st-century style. It is both novel and elegant, while also showcasing the local history, art, and culture. 🌈 Theme: If you've read my travelogues, you'll know that we are very budget-conscious when we travel. But as the saying goes, "Ride a bike to the bar, save where you can, spend where you should." When I was looking for hotels in Qufu, the Qufu Luneng JW Marriott Hotel caught my eye. First of all, the location is excellent, just a wall away from the Temple of Confucius. As you can see in the video below, you can see the roof of the Dacheng Hall of the Temple of Confucius directly from the hotel. This is a Marriott hotel, a world-renowned international hotel brand. In the off-season, it only costs CNY 599, including breakfast for two and a calligraphy experience. What do you think? Is it worth it? The hotel front desk saw that we had children with us and upgraded us to a deluxe twin room (with a balcony) for free, and personally brought us a welcome fruit platter. The hotel offers a calligraphy experience, so we brought Hanfu from home and prepared in advance. The kids wore Hanfu and traveled through time in the combination of ancient and modern styles of the hotel. I took lots of photos of him with my phone to capture the beautiful memories. 📍 Address: Located in the center of the Ming Ancient City. It is only 560 meters from the entrance of the Temple of Confucius, a few minutes' walk away. 🎯 Entertainment facilities: The hotel also has a children's play area, gym, and swimming pool. These are all free for guests. When night falls, the hotel lights up. The mysterious oriental architecture and red lanterns blend together to create a tranquil and far-reaching visual experience. 🖼 Restaurant: The breakfast is rich and delicious, maintaining Marriott's usual high standards, with no discounts for the off-season. You can also enjoy local specialties such as noodles, pan-fried buns, Beng meat rice, and Qufu pancakes at the Marriott Hotel. 💗 Other tips: The hotel offers free luggage storage. We went to the pool for half an hour in the morning, then checked out, stored our luggage, and headed to the highlight of our trip to Qufu - the Three Confucian Sites. This price, these conditions, this experience. Parents traveling with children, are you tempted?
