Reviews from Real Guests:

Guest User: 因為小朋友很挑剔,所以第一次來張家口選了一家新開業的酒店,奔着親子主題來的。果然沒有失望,小朋友很喜歡。酒店內有開放泳池,早餐也很豐盛,口味不錯。晚上也有晚安牛奶🥛很貼心。衛生很棒,配套也不錯,這次時間有限比較匆忙,下次有機會還會再來。

Anonymous User: The location of the hotel is quite good, next to the city government, the imposing street has the feeling of Chang'an Street. The gym and swimming pool are also quite clean. The room environment is also quite new. But there will be a little decoration taste, but the hotel has an air purifier for each room very intimate. But there are still two suggestions: 1. Walking into the main entrance of the hotel feels that there is no pedestrian lane, and it is not too friendly to walk along the driveway; 2. Can the butter for breakfast be replaced with animal butter, and it is better to pack it separately. I feel very good and convenient is that there is a nucleic acid detection point in the lobby, which is very convenient during the epidemic.
