Excellent lakefront location and views are repeatedly praised, but several guests note the hotel is remote from town, requires a car for outings and involves a dangerous road crossing.

Great hospitality with amazing view of Erhai
Pros:

Great hospitality from staff especially checking into hotel. Clean amenities and loved the view of Erhai from the room. Bed was very comfortable and room was quiet even though it was next to the main road

Bof
Pros:

Emplacement face au lac, chambre spacieuse avec une belle vue sur le lac

Cons:

On est loin du boutique hôtel et plus proche de l’usine a touriste. Cela manque d’âme surtout en arrivant d’un hôtel à taille plus humaine à Lijiang. Besoin de la voiture pour tous les déplacements, même pour sortir manger (à moins de se faire livrer). Et sortir de l’hôtel à pied nécessitait de traverses la 2x2 voies devant au péril de sa vie.
Point désagréable de la chambre on a eu froid en plein mois d’août, impossible de régler la température

酒店里的员工及其专业和热心。感谢吴经理，他非常耐心的帮忙解决我住店遇到的的问题，希望他能够喜欢我送的锦旗。餐厅的李副经理也是非常热情暖心，宝宝看到她温暖的笑容就很治愈。虽然地点并不完美，但是员工都能打100分
