Alpine Studio Coulson

Haha, this hotel must be run by Chinese people! They have a super huge TV perfect for screen casting, which was amazing. It's really close to the scenic area and the views are fantastic. The air conditioning was on the moment we walked in, making it very warm and welcoming.

The hotel is clean and comfortable, and parking is convenient! It's also very close to the Church of the Good Shepherd, which makes watching the sunset and stargazing super easy! You can even see the snow-capped mountains right next to the hotel, which is absolutely beautiful! ⛰️

The facilities and rooms themselves are very new, and it's dark enough around to stargaze. The only issue is that parking can be a bit difficult when the spots near the entrance are almost full.

Facilities: I was pleasantly surprised upon entering. The room was new and well-equipped, with toothbrushes, disposable slippers, and tissues provided. The kitchen also had a good selection of small items. Service: I arrived quite late, and the hotel had emailed me the room number and password for self-check-in. Parking was convenient and close to the room. I really liked the undisturbed feeling of self-check-in. Cleanliness: It was clean.

This feels more like a guesthouse than a hotel. The facilities are quite new, and it seems to be part of a resort developed by Chinese investors. It's very close to the Church of the Good Shepherd and other town amenities, just a 3-minute drive away, making it ideal for self-driving travelers. The room decor is modern, and it's a pretty good option if the price is right. It comes with a kitchen and some basic utensils, but there weren't enough bath towels and hand towels in the bathroom. There was a note on the wall saying you could add staff on WeChat to request more supplies, but I didn't do that. The downside is that there's no daily room cleaning. On the second day, someone came to change the hand towels, but they said they'd bring bath towels later and never did, so the service is actually quite mediocre. Oh, and a huge bonus: you can see stars and the Milky Way right outside at night!

The room was sufficient for two people for two nights, and the mattress was very comfortable. Self check-in was convenient, and parking was easy. It's less than a three-minute drive from the hotel to the scenic area, making it perfect for those traveling by car.

The room is well-equipped, the environment is great, there are plenty of phone charging cables, and the TV even has Chinese channels. The guesthouse also provides disposable slippers. I'll definitely stay here again!

The heating was excellent and the surrounding area was very quiet, though the bed was a bit too soft for my liking.
