First experience 🌟 Qinling Song Returns to Sichuan 📍 Qinling Song Returns to Sichuan, it takes about four hours to drive from Xi'an🚕, and less than an hour from Liuba County. 🍃Advantages: The environment and service are really impeccable. On the day of arrival, the hotel staff had already come to pick us up in the parking lot. There were also staff to take the luggage, and we just had to follow them. 🍃We booked the most basic room type, which was upgraded after we arrived. It has a small courtyard and a free mini bar in the room (a bottle of Coke, a bottle of Sprite, a small box of nuts and chocolates) 🍃The toiletries are said to be from Marlin Dog, but I didn't take a shower that day and didn't see them. 🍃The hotel provides bicycles for guests to ride. The most beautiful rural road is just outside the hotel, but I always feel that this road is very dangerous, so you should pay attention to safety when riding. 🍃There is also a bonfire at night. It is quite fun if there are many people. Drinking and playing games is quite good. 🍃The staff will contact you the day before check-in to select the aromatherapy, which will be placed in the sink in advance. Since I brought a small cake but forgot to bring a plate, I asked the hotel to borrow a plate. It went very smoothly and all my basic requirements were met. 🍂Disadvantages: The parking lot is very small, probably less than ten parking spaces, and there are only four electric charging stations if I am not mistaken, which is also one of the disadvantages. 🍂There were two cups of coffee in the gift package. I thought they were delivered separately, but when I asked for them in the afternoon, they said they were breakfast coffee... I was quite surprised. Aren’t breakfast drinks usually self-service? 🍂Breakfast is also one of my biggest complaints. My god, I was shaking my head while eating it. It is not as good as the All Seasons which costs only three or four hundred yuan! It's a semi-buffet style, with only baguettes and toast as bread. The toast is not as good as the one I make myself, it tastes terrible. 🍂The orange juice is actually orange juice with pulp, not freshly squeezed? The only drinks available are milk and orange juice. The Chinese breakfast is fixed. Each person has a bowl of millet porridge, an egg, a sausage (it looks like the cheap grilled sausage sold at the school gate when I was in junior high school), a small plate of pickles, a steamed bun and a few slices of beef. See the last picture for details. The breakfast was really speechless! ! ! 🍂The hotel is in the middle of nowhere, and there is no food nearby. It is best to eat in the county town or bring some food with you. The hotel dinner is about 160 per person.
