Not luxurious but perfect in every way.
Pros:

Its location enables you to view the attractions in the opposite order of the tour groups enabling you to skip most crowds. The manager Alex is informative and friendly. The food tastes great and has a ‘home cooked meal’ vibe which you can really taste the love. Smiles all the time. Feels like home. They treat guests like family. Family cat Mimi is also extremely vocal for cheek rubs.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about . It’s not luxurious but all the facilities work and sufficient.

Avoid this tourist trap, not worth it. Overpriced and staff only interested in money. Run down place
Cons:

The room is run down, with dirt and moist on the walls. The bathroom feels dirty. Windows don't close properly. Staff is just there to get your money. Pictures give a false impression. Largely overpriced with meals not included and expensive. Plenty of better value options

would 100% stay here again.
Pros:

We stayed here to get quick access into the park to beat the crowds and that we did. Alex the host was great along with his cat meme. The food on site was good and the view was amazing. It was also fun meeting all the travelers staying at the hotel. This place is very much like a travelers hostel.

Cons:

The shower was a little rough. Definitely shower with your own personal shoes on.

Prepare for sleeping in the wild
Pros:

People working there are just fantastic and very helpful, so you can always ask for advice. And location is special so you don't need to waste time for traveling and explore the National Park more intensly. And sunset spot is tremendous!

Cons:

I was there early November and it was freezing cold inside the room all the time. The room wasnt clean at all, not even mentioning the bathroom. You had to wait few minutes for hot water in the shower and after the shower the whole bathroom was sinking. And got a spider in my bed (at least I spotted only one). Also price is just too high for the comfort you get

Good but not what we originally wanted
Pros:

Location was great, right next to the entrance to the National Park - we were given another hotel 3 weeks before arrival. We were originally going to stay in Yolo Resort within the national park itself but the hotel owner decided to close the place down to renovate over the shoulder season. The hotel staff were very helpful, though.

Overall-great experience due to Alex and location! Definitely bare bones and rustic hotel.
Pros:

Alex was incredible and helped us plan an absolutely amazing few days in the park so that we could see absolutely everything we wanted to see! He also helped us switch plans last minute in order to spend a day at Tienman Mountain which included spending out last night at their sister hotel in Zhangjiajie which was lovely. Great location for exploring the park since it is the only accommodation within the park itself. However, that meant we couldn't leave after park closing hours or we would not be able to get back in, which I did not realize before our arrival. Food was basic but delicious. Tea from the plantation available at all times. Stay was good overall, but a bit too rustic for my mother.

Cons:

Had some large bugs in the room (had to get rid of a few spiders and flying beetles) on our first day-assuming they leave the doors open when cleaning between guests and they get in that way. Have to pay for potable water, beds hard, and shower temperature luke warm.

A wonderful staff, lodge and location.
Pros:

Located inside the national park, the mini buses are an easy stroll from the lodge. Alex did a wonderful job of outlining three days of hiking/strolling through the park. Alex is a wealth of information and also helped us book our travel in and out of the park via air and train.

Cons:
