From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was captivated by its exquisite decor and warm atmosphere. 🍁The hotel boasts an excellent location with convenient transportation nearby, making it easy to reach both commercial areas and tourist attractions. The lobby is spacious and bright, and the staff are warm and attentive. The check-in and check-out processes were highly efficient with no tedious procedures. Their meticulous service, from the warm greetings at the entrance to the thoughtful gesture of helping with luggage, made me feel right at home. 🍁The room layout is well-designed with excellent space utilization and good lighting, and the view outside the window is quite pleasant.

Hilton Series ~ DoubleTree by Hilton Shiyan 1️⃣It's the National Day holiday again. I plan to arrive in Shiyan early to climb Wudang Mountain. During this period, I stayed in two hotels, both of which are Hilton Garden Inn and DoubleTree by the same owner. I will say a few words about the Garden Inn without making too many comments. The price of Trip Coins for Hilton Garden Inn Shiyan is one of the cheapest hotels in Greater China. Trip Coins of around 10,000 are usually priced at more than 200 yuan. The location is average, so it is suitable for those who come to Shiyan to book a room. You can give it a try. Of course, I still think that the comprehensive experience of DoubleTree is still the best in this city. (But there are some minor flaws.) Location and transportation: Located in Zhangwan District, it takes about ten minutes to drive to Shiyan East Station and about twenty minutes to Shiyan Station. There are no shared bicycles and subways in Shiyan, so you can either take a taxi or a bus to get there. If you want to climb Wudang Mountain, you can choose to take a bus or a high-speed rail, or take a taxi. You can search for guides on Baidu. It is not far from Wanda Plaza, about two kilometers away, about three kilometers away from Wuyan and Liuyan, and about the same distance from Wushang. It can be regarded as the city center. After all, it is also close to the municipal government. Shiyan is a car city (the hometown of Second Automobile Dongfeng), and it is very convenient and fast to take a taxi. Behind the hotel is Fushan Park. You can go there after dinner and overlook Shiyan. 2️⃣The night view! Still very good! Price and facilities: The price of Yilin is generally more than 500 yuan, and it is a little higher on holidays. There is another Wyndham of the same level in Shiyan, and the prices of the two are similar, but Wyndham is a little later. There was a small defect in this stay. After communicating with the first mate, I was upgraded to a suite. The suite is about 60 square meters, a little small. The hotel opened in 2016 and is well maintained. The suite is on the 21st floor and the lounge is on the 22nd floor. The scenery is average. Outside is the mountain and the school playground. The dishes in the lounge are standard in the evening, and there are not many people. There are no canned soft drinks, only wine and juice, which are edible. The breakfast is still very rich, which is quite good among the same level. 3️⃣Service: The service was very good. There were some minor incidents, but the first mate Robert was very good at solving the problems. He upgraded the room type and gave us two buckets of DoubleTree cookies as a gift! ! ! There were Tai Chi duck dolls around the hotel, several extra welcome fruits, and the room rate was waived! They are really responsible and gave me a mini bar as a gift. Of course, the main task of National Day is to have fun. The last photo was taken when I climbed to the Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain. It also pays tribute to my father when he was studying in Wuhan. 34 years ago, their university organized a climb of Wudang Mountain. Time is like a song, and youth has no regrets! At the same time, I hope that the DoubleTree Hotel will be prosperous during the National Day, and I also hope that our great motherland will be forever strong and prosperous.
