I stayed here in late July, peak season, and paid over 400 yuan a night. The pros are its proximity to Shilaoren Beach, spacious rooms, and a decent restaurant. Everything else was a con:
1. Yilan Xinsu and Yilan Xinshe are the same place. Yilan Xinsu's entrance was under construction, and the front desk was at Yilan Xinshe. Although it's only 30 meters away, it was very inconvenient. Xinshe has lower floors but a front desk, a restaurant (where breakfast is served), robot delivery, and a laundry room. Yilan Xinsu has higher floors and is more expensive, but it has nothing; you have to go downstairs yourself to pick up takeout.
2. They said there was a laundry room, but it's in Xinshe, in a dim little room with three dirty washing machines. You need to bring your own detergent. The main problem is that the elevator in Xinshe doesn't display floor numbers for floors 1-3. After someone gets off on the 2nd floor, the elevator just opens and closes, staying on the 2nd floor – this happened three times! When I finally made it to the 3rd floor, there was no sign for the 'laundry room,' so I had no idea how to find it!
3. The room's air conditioning would turn off by itself! Sometimes after an hour, sometimes half an hour, sometimes just ten minutes! I'd wake up hot in the morning! I finally got someone to try and fix it two or three times, but it was never resolved!
4. Early one morning, the toilet was clogged and kept filling with water. I called the front desk, and they said the maintenance staff wouldn't start until after 8 AM. The entire bathroom was flooded.
I was traveling with my child during the summer and didn't want to switch hotels, but I eventually couldn't stand it anymore and moved.
