This hotel is a mixed bag. It's perfectly located by Slender West Lake, just a few hundred meters from the ticket office. You can enjoy beautiful views without even leaving the hotel, and it's not crowded at all.
However, for a resort hotel, the room is incredibly small, even smaller than most budget hotels, making the space feel very cramped. The interior decor is also extremely cheap, with tiled floors throughout. The rattan wall coverings were prickly, and the cleanliness was an absolute mess. There were very few staff members, and it felt like there weren't many guests either, almost like staying in a guesthouse. On the bright side, the person who checked me in was professional.
Later, I looked it up and found that most hotel rooms in Yangzhou are quite small... unless you pay over 2000+ for a slightly larger room at a place like the nearby Yingbin Hotel. It's a strange city; you'd think a developed tourist city would have plenty of good resort hotels, but it's not even as good as Nantong, which I visited last time and considered a 'tourism desert.'
I switched to another hotel, and although it wasn't huge, the service and cleanliness were much, much better.
