For this trip to Dali, I chose the newly opened Home2 Suites by Hilton Dali Xiaguan, and the stay was absolutely amazing—unforgettable indeed! 👍🏻 I opted for the Flexible King Room, which had a warm and cozy vibe. The facilities were brand new and well-equipped, featuring a small kitchen, a work desk, and a lounge area, all cleverly divided into functional zones—space utilization was spot on! The bed was incredibly comfortable, with super soft pillows that made me feel like I could fall asleep in seconds. 💤 ✔ The hotel offers comprehensive amenities, including a gym, laundry facilities, and lounges, perfect for both workouts and relaxation. The Hilton breakfast was particularly impressive, blending Chinese and Western options—don’t miss the local Yunnan rice noodles! 🍜 ✔ The location of Home2 Suites by Hilton is also excellent, close to the central business district and major attractions around Dali. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making it a truly pleasant stay. If you’re visiting Dali, consider this hotel—both the facilities and service exceeded expectations! ❤️
