I booked a lake-view room, and the moment I opened the window, I was greeted by breathtaking views of Lake Tai—seriously, it felt like waking up in a postcard. The room itself was spacious, bright, and immaculately clean, making the stay incredibly comfortable. What stood out most was the variety of family-friendly activities—my kids loved the baking workshop, ping pong, and table tennis sessions. It kept them entertained and happy throughout our visit. 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.
