Very close to Shapotou Scenic Area, ideal for those driving here. Rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the parking lot is huge. It's also quite quiet at night.
The surrounding environment isn't great. We arrived late at night, and there were very few food options nearby, though a nearby restaurant serving ice-boiled lamb was pretty good. We booked a triple room. Although we were upgraded to a family suite, the mezzanine on the second floor was too low—you had to bend over…
I was recommended here by Doubao, and I feel like Doubao took an ad fee 😓... The hotel is a 13-minute drive from Shapotou Scenic Area, and there are shops nearby, so it's fairly convenient.

Good to know
Does this hotel accept foreign guests?
Star-rated hotels — especially chains and anything four-star and above — almost always register foreign passports as routine. Smaller local hotels sometimes lack the foreign-guest license. Since 2024 hotels officially may not refuse foreign guests: if refused, call or SMS 12345. Book refundable when unsure.
How do I get there?
Show the big Chinese name above to any taxi or DiDi driver, or tap Find in Amap for turn-by-turn navigation. The Chinese name is what drivers read — English names are rarely recognized.
What does the star rating mean?
China's official hotel star rating is assessed by tourism authorities (GB/T 14308 standard): ★★★ = comfortable and reliable, ★★★★ = high-end with full services, ★★★★★ = luxury. It certifies quality, not foreign-guest policy — that's why we flag it separately.
How do I pay there?
Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign Visa/Mastercard before you fly — QR payments work at virtually every hotel. Foreign credit cards are accepted at the front desk of most star-rated hotels. Full payments guide →
