Shenmu Blue Island Resort Hotel (Sailimu Lake Scenic Area)

The room is small. There aren't even any hangers. All the details are not done well. The toilet paper roll is placed behind the toilet, there is no special toilet paper holder, and there are very few toilet paper rolls. The hot water pressure was wrong. The wash basin upstairs has a very small flow of water. There were construction sites everywhere outside, and I spent a long time looking for a hotel. Sailimu Lake is beautiful, but the prices of homestays are really inflated.

When I came to Sailimu Lake 10 years ago, I stayed in a herdsman's tent. Now when I come again, there are hotels and homestays everywhere near the east gate. Although the scenic area is fenced off and charges a fee, the conditions are much better. Based on Ctrip's recommendation, I chose Shenmu Bluebird because it is the off-season and the price of 500 (excluding breakfast) is acceptable. Let me talk about the good things first: it is very close to the east gate of Saihu Lake, the lady at the front desk is very enthusiastic, because the location is not easy to find, check the navigation in advance. Because the temperature of the room we booked first was a bit low, the lady at the front desk was very considerate and upgraded it to a loft, which made the room bigger and warmer. But there are also some shortcomings. If the price is 2,000 during the peak season, there will definitely be complaints. First of all, the hygiene needs to be improved. Maybe because the room is large, some facilities are dusty. In addition, a hair was found on the bed sheet. The handsome room boy quickly helped us change the bed sheet. The bathroom smells a bit bad, which is quite unacceptable. Another thing is that there were "holes" in two places in the room (see the last three photos). It was probably because it was the off-season and they were still renovating and upgrading. But my wife is particularly afraid of mice, so she is quite worried. But because we checked in late and upgraded the room, we didn't give any more feedback.

First of all, I must say that this hotel is very new. The yard is still full of unpacked boxes of home appliances, and the decoration is also very nice. Apart from the above, there are no advantages. First of all, there is the hygiene issue. When I checked in, I saw obvious urine stains on the side panels. I wiped them myself, which was disgusting. There was a lot of hair in the bathtub. The bathroom floor towel was covered with hair. There was no changing or cleaning. Next is the wash basin. Water leaks from the bottom while I am washing. The toilet is also outrageous, once you sit down, it flushes automatically but the water sprays directly on you. All in all, it was a really bad accommodation experience. It can be said that after staying in so many hotels or B&Bs, this one was the worst. But from another perspective, it feels like most of the places nearby are probably similar. Finally, I would like to add that Lake Sai is really beautiful and well worth visiting.
