「The view by Erhai Lake was superb! I read the past reviews and saw their actual photos. This resort hotel is just as they said. You can see the sunrise from your bed or balcony couch, enjoy breakfast with the lake breeze in your face and breathe the fresh air. Even though your DiDi can't navigate the narrow side streets, the hotel staff will advise you to stop at an address that is very near them and they will send a buggy ride to fetch you within 5mins of notification. The room itself is spacious and sufficient for 2-3 pax, with a mini fridge, hair dryer, bath tub and shower, automated toilet bowl...As I forgot about my afternoon tea and was still out exploring, the staff was kind enough to bring it to my room at night as supper. The hotel is near a stretch of the ecological wetland, and farther down within walking distance is famous check-in coffee shop, Xindi. I find this stretch more peaceful, and some may find the e-bike rental spot in front of the hotel useful.」
