Yisu Yunzhi Boutique Lake View Hotel

This hotel was good but cannot earn 5 stars for one primary reason and several minor reasons. Primarily, the Yisu loses one start for not having a separate bathroom and sleeping area. The sleeping areas flow directly into the bathroom area with a door, making this a bit awkward for friends traveling together. Yes, the toilet and shower have glass doors, but there isn’t a main door to the bathing area for complete privacy. Other minor points to bring the score lower includes a local family (not guests?) listening to several devices aloud at lunch while trying to enjoy the scenery. Power was lost at 11PM, when the staff & locals became aware and were making a lot of noise to get it back on. Fast-forward to midnight, with the power back on, but there apparently was some event (card game) going on nearby with a bunch of men making a lot of noise. I asked the owner if Room 101, which is next to the road and closest to the village, would be quiet at night and she assured me yes. However, this was not the case. Lastly, breakfast is only from 8-10, and consists of a bowl of noodles plus a boiled egg. No big deal. Additionally, when I go to sit at a table, I don’t expect the table & chairs to be wet, nor for me to wipe it off. Yes, the host was receptive & courteous in general, but this misses the mark on several points.
