Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some room types require a Chinese ID — Rooms listed as 'China Mainland citizens Chinese ID card only' mean they may be unavailable to foreign guests.
- Limited on-site parking information — No parking details are provided in the hotel policies, so guests arriving by car may need to arrange their own options.
- Small number of rooms — With only 38 rooms, availability can be limited, especially during peak seasons.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is available from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight may not be accommodated.
