Ergun Hotels with Balcony

"Over 20 years ago, when I first visited Inner Mongolia, even the so-called best yurts were just grassy husks and cowflies swirling around when the tap was turned on. Now, with a child, choosing accommodation is still not easy. I wanted to stay on the grasslands, but the larger campsites were too crowded with all sorts of guests, and the noisy bonfire parties and clubbing were simply not to my taste. After much searching, I finally found this place. It's small, perched on a hillside near a village, with a view of pastureland. After checking in, I found the landlady was truly attentive: free freshly ground coffee, a separate wet and dry bathroom, soft beds (surprisingly the most comfortable in our five nights in Inner Mongolia), thick, absorbent towels, a heated smart toilet… The horse riding area she recommended was also very reliable, reasonably priced, safe, and legitimate. After riding, it rained, so we didn't go out and ate barbecue at the hotel. The meat was fresh, and my husband wanted cold noodles, so the landlady even went out to buy the ingredients—corn and perilla leaves, all freshly picked from the field. I'd been lamenting that I'd missed the sunset at Heishantou, but then, while eating, I looked up and saw a fiery sunset (there's a hillside nearby; it must be even more beautiful up there). I've always felt that tourism development in Inner Mongolia is quite challenging. The peak season is very short each year, prices are high, and the quality of cultural activities varies greatly. Shops cater to all sorts of customers, and dealing with difficult or even obnoxious guests can be incredibly frustrating. If guesthouses could all be run with the same care and hospitality as this lady, I believe things would be much better."

"As Trip.com netizens commented, the hotel is newly renovated in recent years, the facilities are very new, the rooms are very bright, the proprietress takes care of it very carefully, the inside is very clean and warm, and the manager's intentions can be seen. The building where the hotel is located was built by the boss himself. It was renovated last year and an elevator was added. The layout is also very meticulous and feels like home. The night before, I stayed at the inn in Linjiang Village. I compared it here and not only experienced the world, but also the price was more favorable."
