The hotel's location is just a bit east of Guling Main Street, so it's pretty central and not far from anywhere you'd want to go.
Head right out of the hotel and take a small alleyway; after a few dozen meters, you'll reach Guling Central Park on Main Street, with restaurants lining the way.
To the south of the hotel is the Lushan Cinema, where 'Lushan Love' is shown. Walk a bit further, cross a small bridge, and you'll find Meilu Villa. Cross the road diagonally from Meilu and walk a little more, and you'll reach the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall. Many of Guling's old villas, including Pearl S. Buck's villa (unfortunately under renovation in early September) and villas where comrades like Deng Xiaoping stayed, are located near Meilu and the Zhou Enlai Memorial Hall. All of these are within walking distance.
If you're driving, the hotel has a good-sized courtyard for convenient parking, and even a slow charger from the State Grid. If you don't have a car, turn right just a little outside the hotel, and you'll find a sightseeing bus stop.
Back to the room: it's not too big, not too small. Besides lacking a refrigerator, it pretty much meets the standards of a mid-range business hotel (like a Ji Hotel) and is quite clean.
I booked a street-facing room, but the glass provides excellent sound insulation. Plus, outside there are tall plane trees, which is quite pleasing to the eye. Across the street is a slope with no buildings, mostly just trees. At night, you can even see the fairy lights outside a pub diagonally across the street.
The hotel's breakfast is comparable to Atour or Ji Hotel—decent and standard. The Jiangxi-style fried noodles are a highlight, better than what you'd find in outside restaurants. The hotel also has a full-service restaurant, which I didn't get to try, but I heard it's good.
The front desk staff were enthusiastic and attentive, always ready to help. If my itinerary hadn't changed, I definitely would have stayed longer.
