"After arriving at Shapotou, I spent the first night at Star Hotel and the second night at Suosuo Hotel, and the contrast was quite noticeable.
Room: We stayed in Block B. The room was conveniently located and quiet. I had already anticipated the room size before arriving, and it was indeed difficult to even open a suitcase. However, the advantage was that my child could play in the sand right outside the door, then go stargazing in the evening, and the first thing they did the next morning was play in the sand again. This made it much easier for the adults. The air conditioning deserves praise – it was incredibly quiet! I've stayed in so many hotels, and few have such silent AC! But I have to complain about the curtains! They didn't block out much light at all, and by 6 AM, the entire room was bright, which affected our sleep.
Service: It was rather average. On the second day, when we were still in the scenic area, customer service called twice to rush us to check out, saying we'd be charged for a half-day if we exceeded the time. Perhaps it was due to high occupancy. Suosuo Hotel's service, on the other hand, was excellent; they were responsive to all requests immediately, possibly because it's a newer hotel.
Food: Breakfast and dinner were included and delicious, especially the lamb! The only downside was that it was very crowded, even during the off-season.
Environment: We checked in at 4 PM and spent most of the next day exploring the scenic area, so we didn't have much time to properly explore the hotel itself.
Overall, it was still a good experience!"
