Seercuo International Hotel

The entrance lobby is very luxurious and grand. While the hotel's interior decor might be a bit dated, it's still very comfortable to stay in. The small shop on the ground floor sells oxygen tanks for 20 [yuan] each, and their raincoats are also of good quality and reasonably priced. The Chinese restaurant on the second floor serves delicious food, especially the beef noodles and the potato beef brisket; we enjoyed them for two meals. The cable car entrance is directly opposite the hotel. We had breakfast and went to queue before 8 AM, which was incredibly convenient. There's also a bus to Jiuzhaigou right outside the hotel, which is fantastic. Take the cable car and electric shuttle bus up, but to truly appreciate all the beautiful scenery, you really must hike back down.

The hotel hasn't been renovated in over a decade, and the facilities are incredibly outdated. The bed creaks loudly with the slightest movement, the window doesn't shut properly, and the shelf holding the coffee supplies is practically falling off. All the fixtures and fittings are in dire need of replacement. Breakfast was equally disappointing. The rice was hard, the few vegetarian stir-fries seemed carelessly prepared, and the milk was watered down. I couldn't even find any white sugar. For a hotel priced at 598, this was truly a huge disappointment. The only silver lining was that staying at the hotel came with complimentary sightseeing bus tickets, which are usually very difficult to secure. This perk is definitely commendable. Its proximity to the cable car station is also a significant advantage. I sincerely urge the owner to renovate the place as soon as possible.
