Hotel was satisfactory, we had a nice time there but it is in a rundown condition. The neighbourhood is fantastic though, lake is close by and right next to the hotel are great local dining options, noodle shops, dinner restaurants serving wok veggies, meats...bakeries...and right in the front of the hotel is a very nice tea/coffea place that serves the best matcha latte! Everything very cheap, no touristy prices. The minus of the hotel is the cigarette smell in the corridors, which inevitably got to our rooms, because some inhabitants of the hotel smoke and leave their rooms open to vent. We didn't smell too much smoke on the other floors, so we might have been just unclucky with the position of our room. Staff was very nice but nobody spoke english so we communicated through google translator. However, if you want a real, local, chinese culture and experience this is a great place to start.
