Howard Johnson Dongqian Lake Plaza Ningbo（Erling Mountain Hot Spring）

🦢The environment and ecology of the hotel are very good. There is a large lawn as soon as you enter, and there are swans to watch. 🏠The room facilities are not new, but the service is very good, with welcome fruits and snacks and drinks. I ordered an afternoon tea set to eat in the room, which was very comfortable. ♨️Erlingshan Hot Spring is right next to it. There are many pools, enough for soaking, and there is an indoor rest area. 🛝The children's playground is quite large, but some parts are charged separately. 🌲There are bicycles/electric cars for rent next to the hotel gate. It is great to ride around the lake. It is convenient to walk to the wetland park and Hanling Old Street. 💚In addition, the travel photography provided by the hotel is also good, very good, and 3 photos are given for free. Later, we paid for more photos.

During the May Day holiday, I came to Dongqian Lake, the back garden of Ningbo. Although the location of Huaqiao Howard Johnson is not by the lake, the scenery inside the hotel is remarkable. The decoration is a little old, but the hotel has a strong sense of service. The lobby, corridors, and elevators will take the initiative to smile and greet. The family suite we booked is quiet, the room type is acceptable, the breakfast is also quite rich, and they also took the initiative to send a welcome fruit gift.

Overall, it exceeded my expectations. During the May Day holiday, the prices of first-line lake view hotels increased a lot, so I blindly chose this family hotel. I didn't have much expectation, but I was very surprised after checking in: Advantages: The hotel is in a good location, about 2km away from Hanling Old Street, and those with good physical strength can walk. It is also close to the International Lake House and the water camp. There is a bicycle rental shop at the door of the hotel, which is very convenient for those who don't want to drive. The hotel has a beautiful environment inside, and there is a lake at the door. Our room is on the first floor and has a small courtyard. The waiters will take the initiative to greet the guests when they see them. We stayed for two nights, and the housekeeper called every day to ask about the stay experience and needs. I said that the room temperature was too low and the air conditioner could not be adjusted. They immediately arranged to send an oil heater for heating. Thumbs up! The soy milk and various porridges for breakfast are quite special. Every morning, there are staff members who dress up as cartoon characters and send balloons at the entrance of the restaurant. Children love it the most. Of course, there are some shortcomings: the big slide in the children's playground costs 99 yuan to enter, which is a bit high... The room does not actively provide shower caps, face masks, etc., only toothbrushes and combs, and the paper used is too thin. Such thin paper needs to be used several times at a time, which does not really reduce the cost. 😂 In addition, there are few restaurants around. It was too congested to drive out during the May Day holiday, so I could only solve it in the hotel's Chinese restaurant. The dishes are still good, but the price is a bit high. The hot spring is not well prepared, and I didn't experience it. It should be good. Overall, it is still a good hotel and I will consider staying again.
