Location is quite central, in the heart of Dali Ancient Town. Its entrance is a few steps into a side lane of one of the town's busiest East-West axis...
It's very easy to walk pass and miss the lane entrance - - - see photo showing the lane entrance... including the neon signage of the hotel).
My room is probably the most affordable one, located on the ground floor, with window right next to another lane. This time of the year is off season, so I didn't encounter any noisy disturbances by pedestrians using the lane at night.
My first complaint about the room is the water outlets' hot/cold control... It was extremely difficult, if not impossible, NOT to be scarced by the bathroom's hot water....
I was also disappointed that I couldn't watch any CCTV live broadcasts, without having to subscribe to paid cable news channels. I think access to national news broadcast should be mandatory and free!
