Location and Transportation: The hotel is located in an urban village, not really remote. It's about 1.5-2km from Lijiang Ancient Town (Big Waterwheel) and accessible via an underpass. Taxis are quite quick and convenient.
Environment: From the 1st-floor lobby to the 6th-floor rooms, everything is very clean and hygienic. The room type we stayed in, including the interior decoration, perfectly matched the photos uploaded by the merchant. It was very clean and hygienic, a great experience. Everything was readily available, very satisfying. There was also a small fridge for refrigeration (it had a durian smell, probably from the previous guest, it was stinky). Additionally, there's a viewing platform on the 7th-floor balcony with a great view. Unfortunately, it rained continuously in Lijiang during our stay, so we couldn't see the scenery, but you can still look around the vicinity; it's considered a high point.
Value for Money: Two nights without breakfast for less than 300/day. It's decent for the off-season. They also offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which is quite good, but we decided against breakfast as we didn't want to get up early.
Service: The staff's service attitude was excellent, truly excellent. A big thank you to the two ladies who greeted us; they proactively helped with our luggage. You can add the concierge on WeChat for any needs. They even prepare instant noodles and deliver them to your room, haha, it was a bit embarrassing. Even the cleaning aunties would greet us when we met them; thumbs up. Although it's a local chain, the service is no worse than big chains. On par with Hilton, and better than the Atour and Orange hotels we recently stayed at. They also offer free luggage storage.
Downsides: Our room was located near the elevator, so we could hear the elevator noise. Conversations in the hallway were quite noticeable in the mornings and evenings. The Ctrip booking interface didn't indicate rooms at the ends of the hallway, so it's best to choose a room away from the elevator if possible. We were too lazy to bother changing rooms and didn't contact customer service.
