Reviews from Real Guests:

王: The hotel hardware is good, the environment is good, the scenery is good, the service attitude is first-class, the hotel staff will take the initiative to say hello when they meet the guests, there are welcome fruits, and they will take the initiative to help with the luggage, and the buffet breakfast is very rich. However, due to the check-in system problem, the first receptionist insisted on asking us to swipe a dozen times without success. The experience was not good. Fortunately, the beautiful lady who came from behind said that she would let the guest advance to the room and hope the hotel can do it. Strengthen the front desk training on how to deal with emergencies, and the air-conditioning in the rooms and elevators is not very sufficient, which is slightly hot and stuffy. PS: After we leave the hotel, the hotel will conduct a return visit for questions, and we will reveal our intentions everywhere, hoping to improve the deficiencies, will strongly recommend to friends around you to stay, and will choose to stay again.

liangzhijian: Hardware configuration: The hotel environment is quiet and tidy, the facilities and landscape are first-class, the room layout is reasonable and comfortable, the room I booked has a bathtub, hot water is open. Service attitude: The staff is very high quality, self-cultivation, understand etiquette; the reception desk is warm and patient; After checking in the room, I found that the TV was not in normal use. I immediately had an engineering staff to repair it. The room was cleaned in time. Food and beverage: The breakfast is rich in variety and quality. It is not the grade of the glutinous rice. The most satisfying thing is the service from the hotel to the room. The price is reasonable. The taste is better than the restaurant on the market, especially the full weight, which is beyond my expectations. If the overall evaluation of the entire stay is set to 10 points, I will give 9.98 points. The insufficient 0.02 points is the hope that the bathing and shampooing supplies can be refined.
