👍 Cat

👍 Front Desk
The front desk staff are very responsible.
They provide information about nearby attractions.
It's very close to Cuihu Lake, and Daguan River is right outside.
They remind guests not to disturb others at night.
After each check-in, they also send a private message and post in a group chat, reminding guests not to eat in the rooms or leave belongings scattered around.
As a result, the rooms are very clean and odor-free.
Common spaces are tidied daily, keeping them very neat.
👍 Guests
The guests staying here are also very well-behaved.
It's incredibly quiet after 11 PM.
🤔 However
1. There are four floors, and no elevator.
2. The hot water supply can be a bit inconsistent.
Overall, my experience was 5⭐️
Because the rooms are clean.
There's heating; I even slept in a tank top at 7°C (45°F) in the room and wasn't cold.
The rules are well enforced.
It's very quiet at night, allowing for peaceful sleep.
The guests are of high quality."
