"This self-driving trip around Sayram Lake was made even more enjoyable by choosing the Lanou International Hotel (New Visitor Center Branch). It was definitely the top choice for accommodation during the entire trip.
The hotel facilities were brand new and clean, the rooms were spacious and bright, and I slept very well. The breakfast deserves special praise; it offered a wide variety of options, including Xinjiang-style noodles and pastries, milk tea and cold dishes, as well as porridge, hot dishes, and freshly cooked noodles. The ingredients were fresh and the flavors authentic. The restaurant staff were warm and attentive, proactively replenishing food and clearing tables. Seeing that we had elderly relatives with us, they even thoughtfully helped us adjust our seating. Their service was gentle and polite throughout, ensuring a good start to the day. A hearty breakfast and plenty of energy were essential for our lake tour.
Dirty clothes are a major headache when driving, and the hotel's self-service laundry room solved this problem perfectly. It had washing machines and dryers, was easy to use, and available 24 hours a day. After our day of sightseeing, my coat and trousers were covered in dust. I took them to the front desk, and the staff proactively washed and dried them. Within two hours, clean and crisp clothes were delivered to my room. I was initially worried about disrupting my itinerary the next day, but this laundry service was time-saving, hassle-free, and incredibly thoughtful.
For example, when I returned from my sightseeing in the evening, covered in dust, I didn't have time to wait for the self-service laundry. The front desk staff, knowing we were leaving early the next morning, proactively offered to provide laundry service. They carefully sorted the clothes, dried and neatly folded them, and personally delivered them to our door, without any extra charge. This unexpectedly thoughtful service made me feel incredibly warm.
The overall environment is clean and quiet, and the location is right next to the scenic area entrance, making re-entry very convenient. From the dining services to the convenient amenities, the quality of this upscale hotel is evident everywhere. Next time I visit Sayram Lake, I will definitely choose Lanou again, and I sincerely recommend it to every self-driving tourist."
