Pullman Hotels in Lijiang

I came here for a trip, drawn by the mountain views; the official photos looked really impressive. PS: The 'mountain view room' only offers a tiny glimpse of a peak. After booking, I saw online that this hotel has a lot of negative reviews nationwide, but I didn't regret it. After all, the price was very affordable, and next door was the Grand Hyatt, which was double the price. The room decor is very old, you could even say a bit run-down, but the hotel's public areas are very beautiful and well-maintained. I managed to sneak a peek at an empty villa room after a guest checked out. The decor there was slightly better, but the rooms don't have mountain views, though the privacy is excellent. There's a designated spot in the public area for the 'best mountain view' (marked on the ground); it offers the widest view, but only if the weather is good. Breakfast had a wide variety, including Western and Chinese options, plus kid-friendly items like popcorn chicken and pizza. The service was very attentive, though it felt like they might be understaffed during holidays. It happened to be Mid-Autumn Festival when I visited, and in the end, we had to push our own luggage cart. The mooncakes given out for Mid-Autumn Festival were from Kunming Hotel, an old-brand state-owned classic, and they were particularly delicious and not too sweet. Overall, the value for money is really good. However, it's not suitable for those who prefer to stay in their rooms, as the best scenery is in the public areas. After all, if the rooms were renovated, the price wouldn't be this low anymore...
