The guest house is in a convenient location near the South Gate of Zhangjiajie, which is not the busiest gate (East Gate is). We liked this because it meant we didn't have to queue for the free shuttle buses when we showed up in the morning. The lady will drop you off and pick you up from South Gate for free, which is very convenient.
The South gate is very close to Huangshi Village, and it's also convenient to take a Didi to Middle Gate for the Golden Whip Stream walk. The owner is super helpful when planning out routes for where to travel.
We took a Didi to Middle Gate then a shuttle bus to the east side of the Golden whip stream and then walked the scenic hike to Huangshi village. Sadly we ran out of time to go up the cable car. For the second day we started at South Gate and took the shuttle bus to Yangjiajie. Note it is actually 2 shuttle buses separated by a 15 minute non-stop staircase climb. This route is not recommended if you have young children or elderly people in your party. We then went to Yuanjiajie and Tianzi Mountain and exited via East Gate and Didi'd back to the hotel.
In terms of the hotel it is clean and comfortable. Only issue is there are a bunch of roosters, and a very very cute Alaskan Malamute that like to have a choir together in the middle of the night. I would be annoyed, but the Malamute is so cute I can't even remove any stars from this review.
