Xuanmengyuan Inn

I had a terrible time at this place. In over 50 years of traveling this was my worst experience. Maybe it was because I didn't meet the owner who has rave reviews from other guests. But the room I thought I had booked was the first one in the photos. What I got looked nothing like it. Two beds, small, like another guest said, old bedding and only cold water in the sink in the bathroom (the toilet is a squat and the shower enters directly into it). I asked for a different room and was given another one that looked basically the same, just a bit bigger. But the worst experience was that there were five of us coming to the Inn at the same time (a party of 4 and me, a solo traveler). They sent someone to pick us up from the train station (which was great) and when I asked how much it cost the driver told me it was free (which was a surprise and not necessary, but still). Later they asked me to pay 100 RMB for the ride (about 10 minutes). I said either that was outrageous (5 people all paying 100 = 500) or I was paying for everyone which I didn't agree to do, since I didn't know them. I did pay, but they got very insulting and started to shout at me. What they said didn't make any sense (I don't speak Chinese and use a translation app) but they did say was that since I was traveling alone I had to pay double. I felt very uncomfortable. In the end I didn't stay there. I found another hotel down the street that was much more pleasant. As I left the woman came after me and flung the 100 RMB bill on the street behind me. It was the worst experience I've ever had and I've traveled the whole world.

一個冷門旅遊小鎮，鎮上吃的便宜，我住的是便宜的房間，設施設備有點舊了，被子那些也有點舊了，老闆説可以加錢換好一點的房間，設施要新一些，我還是住的便宜的，不過被子跟房間沒有異味，

鹽津縣豆沙關，古名石門關，是古時由蜀入滇的一道險關，也是連接中原、四川與雲南的南方絲綢之路東線主道。2006年，豆沙關發生地震，重建後的豆沙古鎮，保留了古老的建築風格。真正的歷史文物衹有五尺道保留着一段，所以遊客不多。老街上的客棧基本上門庭冷落。這家客棧位置不錯，周邊吃飯方便。離五尺道景區近，距離客棧100米附近有免費停車場。客棧大廳可以連上網絡，房間裏面沒有信號。

客棧就在古鎮裏，距景區大門和停車場很近，大約步行一、二分鐘吧，老闆和老闆娘人很好，老闆蔡先生是一個精通豆沙關歷史和書法愛好者，景區大門的五尺道牌匾就是他題寫的，我們到後蔡先生先給我們詳細介紹了豆沙關、石門關、五尺道和僰人懸棺的歷史以便我們第二天有計劃和目的性的遊觀，酒店的衞生也很好，以後有機會再來時還會住這裏

離豆沙關景區很近，裝修有年代感，也很乾凈，老闆娘很熱情，蔡老師還給我們介紹了豆沙關一些歷史，網上看不到的那種，就是空調外機聲音太響，有點吵着睡覺。

此次入住客棧，有幸認識房東蔡老師，得於對當地文化及風物有所知曉，受益匪淺，感謝之至！

酒店老闆是位書法家和當地的文史學者，熱情地向我們介紹豆沙關、五尺道的歷史，豆沙關景區大門上那塊“五尺道”匾額就是他題寫的。

住樓上沒有熱水，熱水龍頭打開半天水還是偏冷的，估計34度.35度的樣子，衹能將就着洗了，説實話有點冷……老闆人還是比較熱心的，房間比較老舊，這個倒是無所謂，過路隨便住一晚而已。床品感覺也有點舊，有點發黃了。

酒店文化氣息濃厚，房間乾淨衞生，老闆和藹可親。酒店在古鎮上
