Wanyou Hotel

Reviews from Real Guests:

孙: The best hotel in the local area, I saw many advertisements of Wanyou Real Estate on the driveway. It is famous. It is obviously decorated in a high-end hotel with grades when entering the room. It also delivered a welcome fruit plate, warm, no contact hand sanitizer in the bathroom, and the bath water pressure is stable and the water comes out quickly. There is also a gym swimming pool on the 2nd floor, because the business trip time is tight and I didn't enjoy it, the overall environmental sanitation service is worth recommending! The hotel bed is booked late and not fixed, and the next time I live in the big bed, I will book it in advance.
