If this wasn't peak tourist season and was near the Huangguoshu Scenic Area, who would be so extravagant as to spend six or seven hundred yuan to book a hotel of this quality? It's ridiculous.
The room decor felt similar to a Ziroom rental. The mattress was incredibly soft, and with back problems, I couldn't stand it at all. The air conditioner blew directly onto the bed, making it uncomfortable while sleeping. The floor was tiled, with not even a rug. There were no sofas, chairs, or even a stool, so you had to sit on the bed. The bed by the window was angled, and you'd hit your head when you got up. The window was just a small strip at the bottom, making ventilation very poor, practically windowless.
There were no bath towels, let alone bathrobes. After showering, we could only dry ourselves off with disposable towels. It was fine for the guys, but the girls, with their long hair, were incredibly tiring.
With mountains behind us and unfinished buildings next to us, it felt like the hotel was located in a newly developed area, and it was quite a distance from the entrance to the scenic area. The shuttle to the scenic area didn't leave until 7:00 AM, so we didn't take it. Even if we'd arrived at 6:30 AM, there was already a huge line at the entrance, and it would have taken an hour to get to the Great Falls. If we'd left at 7:00 AM, with the traffic jam, every minute would have meant another crowd.
The worst part was the service. When we arrived at 7:00 PM, it had just rained heavily, and the hotel had a power outage. The elevator didn't work, and we couldn't check in. When we asked when the power would be back on, the front desk staff said they didn't know and told us to wait on a sofa on the first floor. We waited for over half an hour, with no sympathy or offer of water or comfort. We asked if there was an emergency generator, but they said they were out of diesel and had to buy some. Finally, after 7:30 PM, the city government fixed it and called to let us check in.
All in all, I should have booked the Lanshanju hotel directly above. I booked it over half a month in advance, and when I saw it, it was only over 300 yuan. I figured it couldn't be any worse, right? Alternatively, you might consider booking a hotel in Zhenning Town, Guanling County. While it's a bit far, it's still much more cost-effective than staying near the scenic area.
For future reference.
