Scenic Hotels in Daming

"I didn't want to go to crowded places during the National Day holiday, so I chose Handan, a place about a 3-hour drive from Jinan. To have more daytime sightseeing time, I scheduled my driving time for the evening. However, not wanting to stay out too late, I split the 3-hour drive into 2+1 hours, leaving the last hour for the next morning. I drove to Daming County in the evening. When choosing a hotel, I didn't pay much attention to details; I just wanted something with breakfast, one large and one small bed, and a reasonable price. Location wasn't a concern since I was driving. When I arrived, I discovered the hotel was right next to Daming Ancient City. 1. Location: I don't know how big Daming County is, since I was only staying one night, but the hotel's location was excellent! It was just over 100 meters west of the North Gate of Daming Ancient City, the most famous attraction in Daming. Before 10 pm, the area downstairs was full of stalls selling all kinds of snacks. There were even more vendors inside the ancient city area. There was also a Huangzhuang mooncake shop within 300 meters, which I really liked for an average price of 2 yuan. 2. Amenities: Although located near tourist attractions, the hotel has a lively atmosphere, with convenience stores, pharmacies, banks, and other amenities readily available. Breakfast is provided, though the selection isn't extensive, there are no rations, and unlimited braised eggs, though they are a bit cold. Condiments include four types of pickled vegetables: winter melon, cucumber, and pickled vegetables. The main dishes are plentiful: edamame, steamed sweet potatoes, steamed buns, twisted rolls, and wrinkled fried dough sticks. Fruits include oranges and small hawthorns. The fried dough sticks with pickled vegetables are alright, and there's no extra charge for children. 3. Facilities: The hotel is relatively new. While it's generally considered a budget hotel, it's above average in many aspects: the lobby has its own design and aesthetic, the corridors are wide and deep (leading to a very long walk to the innermost room), and the carpet provided considerable resistance to the suitcase wheels... The room was very spacious, definitely 40-50 square meters, and even the bathroom was roomy enough. We could easily unfold two large suitcases and spread out our belongings without feeling cramped. There was even a table for the kids to do their homework! Parking was downstairs and free, but because it's close to Daming Ancient City, parking was quite limited during the day. When we arrived around 9 pm, there were only two or three spots available, but they became available after the crowds dispersed late at night. 4. Price: During the National Day holiday, a family room (1.2m bed price is the same as 1.8m bed) was 165 yuan. Being near the tourist attractions and including breakfast for the whole family, it was really a good deal. However, I also noticed that hotel prices have been rising significantly in the past two years. A few years ago, if you booked in advance during holidays, you could find hotels of the same standard in Guangzhou and Hangzhou for just over 100 yuan."

"The hotel is conveniently located within a 10-minute walk of both the North and West Gates of Daming Ancient City. A light show is held at the North Gate at 7 PM. The Superior King Room is spacious, equipped with a smart toilet and refrigerator, and boasts comprehensive and advanced amenities. The front desk and restaurant staff are warm and attentive, and the breakfast selection is extensive."

"In terms of hotel hygiene, the room was cleaned spotlessly, the bedding was white and flat, and the bathroom did not have any water stains or smells. It was more at ease. In terms of service, the front desk smiled warmly when checking in. The staff took the initiative to help with luggage, patiently introduced the hotel facilities, and tried to coordinate a quilt as much as possible when the room was full, like it! Recommended stay!"

"Bringing parents to Daming to play, staying at this hotel for two days, walking to Damingfu, and the night market are very convenient. The door is repairing the road, so it is not convenient to drive in and out, a bit narrow. The staff is quite enthusiastic, Daming is a good place, I will come again in the future."
