Wingate® by Wyndham

The hotel is very new with excellent facilities and is super close to the scenic area, right on the lower reaches of the Tuo River. It’s a pleasant stroll to the main attractions. I have to commend their service; the staff are warm, polite, and proactive in addressing guests' needs – definitely a thumbs up! They even offered a free afternoon tea with delicious pastries!

The room was clean, the facilities were quite new, and the environment was great. The breakfast was also good.

The bed was incredibly comfortable, I even considered buying one to take home! I also got a free room upgrade, and the room was absolutely massive – almost too big, haha. The laundry room, gym, and breakfast were all pretty decent. The first picture shows a corner of my upgraded room, and the other two photos are of Fenghuang Ancient Town, which is nearby.

To summarize: Overall, I wouldn't recommend it. It's definitely one of the worse Wyndham hotels I've stayed at. Location: The location is decent. It's downstream from the Tuojiang River, about 500-600 meters' walk to the downstream entrance of Fenghuang Ancient City. Walking from the downstream to the upstream part of the ancient city is about 2 kilometers. Service: It was okay. Year Opened: Trip.com states it opened in 2025, but the hotel facilities are actually very old; it's clearly not a hotel that's only been open for a year. It's likely Wyndham acquired it or became a management partner in 2025 and started operating under the Wyndham brand. Its predecessor was probably a hotel called something like 'Huajiang Resort Hotel' (the old sign at the entrance still hasn't been removed). Cleanliness: Very unsatisfactory. As soon as I walked in, it didn't feel bright and clean. There were paper scraps on the carpet that hadn't been vacuumed, and the shower area had mold stains all over. Breakfast: In a word, 'terrible.' There was very little variety, even the rice noodles were unappetizing. And surprisingly, they still have those 1980s-style large round tables where 10 people share a table for breakfast. There were only a few small round tables available. After checking out, the concierge messaged me on WeChat saying the hotel was running a promotion: if I left a 5-star review on Trip.com (it *had* to be 5 stars, 4.9 counted as a bad review) and sent a screenshot, I'd get a 48 yuan red packet. Ha, no wonder a hotel with such conditions and facilities has so many good reviews.

The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from scenic spots. A 20-30 minute stroll upstream along the Tuo River will take you right to the main scenic area. The front desk staff was friendly and polite, and our room was spacious and clean. Very satisfied!

The room was spacious, and the hotel kindly upgraded our room for free upon check-in. The breakfast offered a wide variety of choices and tasted great. The hotel also provides a guide to help plan your itinerary and can assist with purchasing tickets, often at a lower price than online platforms. The hotel is conveniently located downstream; it's about a fifteen-minute walk along the river to the ancient city, and it's quiet at night. The complimentary travel photography experience was a nice bonus.

Traveling solo to experience a new city, I chose Wyndham Grand for my stay. I was very satisfied with the hotel's facilities and services. The owner was incredibly warm and patient, even upgrading my room and providing excellent recommendations for sightseeing routes. The hotel is situated in a quiet location, about a 20-minute walk to the main downtown area, which gave me a comprehensive understanding of the ancient city's layout. It was definitely a worthwhile trip!

The hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk from the ancient town center, yet without the noise of popular influencer B&Bs. The environment is elegant and quiet, and the mattresses are soft and comfortable, ensuring a great rest for the whole family.
