The room itself was spacious, bright, and immaculately clean, making the stay incredibly comfortable.

Special shoutout to Xiao Zhai, the staff member who looked after us—her kindness, warm tone, and proactive service made all the difference. She anticipated our needs before we even asked, which made the whole trip feel personal and thoughtful. The atmosphere is peaceful, the location is convenient, and the overall value is outstanding.
