You must stay at this affordable hotel when you come to Yinchuan
Yinchuan Courtyard by Marriott: Unique Experience and High Cost Performance
JW Marriott Hotel and Courtyard by Marriott are in the same building, with Courtyard by Marriott on the lower floors, and some facilities are shared. I redeemed my points for a stay, which was similar in value to the actual price, and considering that I would also receive welcome points, I chose to stay for only one day. Overall, I had a good experience, although the price was slightly higher during the summer vacation peak season. If you come to visit, I highly recommend staying here for one night. If you are on a budget, Courtyard by Marriott is a good choice; if you have a sufficient budget, JW Marriott is also an option.
1. Check-in Experience
1. Location: The hotel is located roughly in the center of Yinchuan, surrounded by the convention center, science and technology museum, government office area, and People's Square, with many office buildings, making it a relatively good location.
2. Transportation: If you don't drive, transportation is relatively inconvenient; if you have a car, it will be much more convenient.
3. Front Desk: Before and after check-in, the front desk was crowded with many people, which was a bit chaotic, whether it was due to a group or other reasons.
4. Room Arrangement: I asked the front desk for a room with a bathtub, and the hotel met my request, but it was not a room upgrade, as some rooms of the same type have bathtubs and some do not.
5. Lobby Environment: The lobby's decoration style is much simpler than that of JW Marriott, giving the impression of an ordinary chain hotel.
6. Room Layout: The room is small, and the interior is relatively ordinary, which is somewhat disappointing. However, the hotel gave a fruit plate, which was thoughtful.
7. Lounge Highlights: Guests staying at Courtyard by Marriott with high card membership benefits can use the JW Lounge, which is undoubtedly a highlight. The executive lounge has a great view, facing Helan Mountain and several green parks, and you can also enjoy the sunset in the evening. When I came at noon, the lounge was empty, and the quiet atmosphere made the lounge's unique charm more apparent (later, some people came, and the atmosphere changed due to loud conversations).
8. Lounge Service: The reception lady in the lounge was enthusiastic and even told me that I could watch the sunset in the evening. The evening happy hour (hh) offers a variety of food, which can basically meet the needs of dinner.
