Indigo Hotels in Dali City

We chose the Indigo Dali Erhai specifically for its sea views, and they certainly didn't disappoint. It's right on the beachfront, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room offer stunning views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The lobby and pool area also provide fantastic photo opportunities. Watching the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening – the sea view alone is incredibly therapeutic. However, the aging facilities are quite noticeable, indicating the hotel has been around for some time. There's wear and tear on the furniture corners in the room, some walls are yellowing, the shower pressure is just okay, and the appliances are older with not much in the way of smart features. Soundproofing is mediocre; you can occasionally hear road noise from outside on lower floors. There's significant room for improvement in terms of maintenance details. The staff were generally friendly, and the breakfast selection was decent. The mini-bar drinks are complimentary and restocked daily. If you're coming to Dali with the main goal of relaxing in your room and enjoying the sea view, and you're not particular about the age of facilities, this place could be a good option. However, if you prioritize brand-new room amenities, you might be a bit disappointed. The location is in Xiaguan, Dali, which is a bit far from the Ancient City, so you'll need to plan your transportation accordingly. Overall in a nutshell: It excels with its unbeatable Erhai Lake views but falls short on outdated facilities. Sea view enthusiasts can go for it, but those who seek brand-new rooms should think twice.
