On our second day, after descending from Huangshan, we checked into the Hyatt Place Huangshan North. The hotel is a 50-minute drive from the South Gate transfer center and 5 minutes from Huangshan North Station.
We booked a standard room for 489 RMB, which included breakfast for two and complimentary breakfast for our child. When checking in, the front desk staff provided a detailed overview of the hotel's services, including breakfast times, a half-price discount for a scenic spot, and high-speed rail pick-up/drop-off service.
Our room on the seventh floor faced the street. We could see Huangshan North Station from the window, but the soundproofing was excellent, so it was very quiet. The room was quite spacious, with a large bed and a sofa bed. The bathroom was also very big, and the frosted glass in the shower meant no awkwardness. We had a wonderfully restful sleep after our climb down the mountain.
During the summer, there's a themed activity every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Our daughter participated in two: on Friday afternoon at 5 PM, she made traditional Chinese medicine sachets in the lobby, and on Saturday morning at 10 AM, she experienced making sugar-coated hawthorns (tanghulu) at the restaurant entrance.
I waited and observed in the lounge area during both activities. The staff actively guided the children to immerse themselves in the experience. My daughter later told me what the staff chatted about with her, and I could tell they were incredibly friendly!
The next morning, while I was waiting for my child to finish the tanghulu experience, a staff member proactively approached me and said, 'You can trust us with your child; feel free to go back to your room and rest. We'll bring her back to your room after the activity.' Their service awareness was truly impressive!
For dinner that day, we ate at the hotel restaurant. The 198 RMB set meal for two included five dishes and one soup. The food was delicious and refreshing – perfect after climbing Huangshan! The portions were generous, and there was even some left over for our family of three.
Breakfast the next day was also very abundant. On weekends, the breakfast hours were extended until 10:30 AM. What's more, the restaurant staff proactively asked what drinks you wanted, and tableware was brought directly to our table. This is a truly thoughtful hotel!!!
