The hotel, newly opened this year, boasts fresh facilities. Unfortunately, despite closing windows and doors, there was an unavoidable scent of new renovation. Opening the windows brought in insects, as there were no screens installed, though the hotel did provide an air purifier we could run. Our suite was on the top floor, with high ceilings that made it feel very spacious and bright. The room decor followed the popular modern, minimalist style. However, the sink design was flawed – aesthetically pleasing but impractical – leading to poor drainage and water constantly pooling in the basin. Furthermore, our room faced a rural road, and across the road, a local villager kept over a dozen chickens and geese. Starting at 3 AM, roosters crowed intermittently, disrupting our sleep. For nearly 2,000 yuan, not being able to guarantee a peaceful night's rest certainly dampened the overall experience.
The hotel's proximity to Daiao Mountain Scenic Area's main entrance, just a few minutes' walk, was a major plus. Even during the National Day holiday, compared to other popular attractions, this scenic area had very few visitors. For those of us who prefer quiet, dislike crowds, and want to avoid peak holiday traffic, staying here was an excellent choice. Besides its closeness to the scenic area, dining options were also convenient. The hotel itself offers dining, though at a premium price. About 700 meters before reaching the hotel, on the left side of the road, there's a family-run restaurant called Daiao Mountain Eatery. We chose to dine there, and after several lunches and dinners, found the food to be delicious and good value for money, so dining was not an issue.
The hotel organized many activities for guests, such as morning Baduanjin exercises and handmade sachet workshops, showing the hotel's thoughtful efforts. There's also a swimming pool, which guests were still using even in early autumn. The hotel is well-managed, and the staff are all proactive and enthusiastic. Upon checkout, they thoughtfully presented us with a Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake gift box.
Lujiang boasts beautiful lake and mountain scenery and rich tourism resources. High-end hotels and guesthouses have developed rapidly in recent years, especially after being integrated into Hefei's urban area. We sincerely hope Lujiang's tourism and hospitality industries flourish and that Lujiang becomes a beloved retreat for Hefei residents.
