Although the facilities of this hotel are a bit old, the quality is as good as ever. The hotel is in an excellent location, just by the lake, the scenery is invincible, and it is the best place to enjoy the sunset. There are Western restaurants, bars, Starbucks around, and dining is very convenient. Especially the restaurant in the hotel, the price is reasonable, the taste is very good, you can order food to the room. Although the price is a bit more expensive, it is close to the lakeside scenic spot and the security is good.FromUS$162

There was a huge mixup with booking a room based on pics on Trip.com website vs what I ended up with upon arrival
Basically booked a jacuzzi room and got a plain room.
The hotel bent over backwards to try to accommodate me...as it was unavailable and they reduced my room rate for the first night and put me into the jacuzzi room the 2nd night without any higher charge either
What an amazing staff!!FromUS$148

Fantastic for the price! The unit was clean with all the right amenities (blow dryer, clean towels, desk, working wifi). Welcomed by the fantastic owner and was so nice and welcoming. They had a dog that was super friendly but also barked a lot. Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Would recommend. 4/5. Maybe would have preferred more lights.FromUS$73

Cean motel room, very friendly staff, comfortable beds, good water pressure, and great location for those passing through town. The price was decent, too. Bring your own small coffee filters and coffee (or coffee pouches), if you want an upgrade. Photos accurately represent the rooms.Recommended as an excellent low rate option for travellers.FromUS$71
