- Main meal:
- The Chinese restaurant on the second floor of the hotel offers Hunan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and Xinjiang barbecue, but the price is high and some guests question the pre-prepared dishes.
- The cooperative restaurant "Qian Qianhe Restaurant and Bar" is open until the early morning, including ethnic song and dance performances, but it requires a 150-meter walk.
⚠️ 5. Guest evaluation and precautions
- Good points:
- The housekeeper service is meticulous and thoughtful, the location is excellent, and the facilities are relatively new.
- Rich gifts (afternoon tea, sunrise pick-up, souvenirs)
- Controversial points:
- Facility defects: Some room types have no windows/poor ventilation; the bathroom occasionally has an offensive smell; the clothesline advertised in the terrace room is actually missing.
- Surrounding environment: The hotel is located in the expansion area, and there are construction sites around it (affecting the landscape and quietness).
- Value for money: The room rate is higher in the peak season (bathtub suite is about ¥1758/night), but the food and beverage premium is obvious.
💎 VI. Booking suggestions
1. Room type selection:
- Give priority to LOFT duplex room or view bathtub suite (confirm the view);
- Avoid windowless rooms (such as some giant screen movie rooms).
2. Service utilization:
- Contact the butler before arrival to arrange pick-up and itinerary;
- Make use of the laundry room to reduce the burden of luggage.
3. Dining alternatives:
- Avoid the high-priced dinner on the second floor of the hotel, and choose the food street in Hemu Village.
4. Seasonal tips:
- In summer (May-October), the scenic spot needs to reserve tickets, and the last shuttle bus ends at about 20:00;
- You can drive in in winter, but you need to protect yourself from the cold.
Overall positioning: Suitable for tourists who value butler service and location convenience, but you need to lower your expectations for facility details and dining value for money. #summervacay #travel #thingstodo #familytravel #myitinerary
