"First, let's talk about the price. I booked the 'Love Sea View Room' for around 4000 RMB.
Regarding service: For a hotel in the 4000 RMB range, the overall service was just average. The hotel lobby is very small, and at 1:30 PM, it was packed. After checking in, I was still told to wait until 3 PM, but there was nowhere to sit in the lobby, so I had to go outside. Overall, the hotel's management and service were pretty standard, nothing particularly commendable. However, I personally didn't encounter any issues with discrimination. On the plus side, the shuttle service was prompt, polite, and excellent.
Regarding room facilities: I had read reviews mentioning dampness, age, and a musty smell, but I personally found it acceptable; there was no strong odor. The room is indeed old, but it's well-maintained. There are many lights, so it doesn't feel eerie at night. The beach chairs on the terrace were a bit dirty with heavy water stains, and the showerhead in the bathroom was quite old-fashioned.
Regarding the surrounding environment: The hotel doesn't have a private beach, but the public beach it directly leads to is not crowded, and that section of the beach is very clean and beautiful. Right outside the hotel, there's a bustling street with plenty of food options, massage parlors, and 7-Eleven stores. It's a quiet oasis amidst the lively surroundings.
Overall, the scenery is indeed unbeatable. The hotel does have an issue with aging room facilities, and the service is acceptable. At this price point, you are definitely paying for the view. All in all, it's still worth a stay!"
