"Pros: The hotel's location and views are great. There's parking available if you're driving, and the Feilai Temple observation deck is only about 100 meters away on foot. The post office and the ”Men Qian Xue” bookstore are right at the observation deck and have many interesting little trinkets. The complimentary afternoon tea and ******* costume photography are both in the 7th-floor cafe. The cafe on the 7th floor has fantastic views, and if the weather were clear, you'd likely see the complete snow-capped mountains. The room I booked was on the corner of the 6th floor, with a small balcony, and the room's view was also good and quite spacious. Unfortunately, the weather was bad; it even rained early in the morning, so I didn't get to see the complete snow-capped mountains, let alone the ”golden mountains in the sunrise.” I'll have to come back next time~
Cons: The service needs improvement. After initial contact, they should have promptly added me on WeChat to send directions, parking info, and accommodation tips, but they didn't do so after my first call. It took a second call and asking two different people to finally get added on WeChat. Furthermore, the restaurant food was disappointing; both breakfast and dinner were a big letdown. Also, the front desk staff seemed very unfamiliar with the surrounding area. When I asked about the post office and the ”Men Qian Xue” bookstore, they didn't know about them and said they were in the county town, not nearby. Later, I navigated and found they were right at the observation deck. When I asked for local food recommendations, they said there were no distinctive local specialties. Overall, the experience was far worse than what I had in Shangri-La...
Regardless, Meili Snow Mountain is still very much worth visiting. Since I didn't get to experience it fully this time, I can look forward to seeing it next time!"
