Jinmao Purelax Lijiang

8/10 Good
"The hotel location is closer to Shuhe township but the affordable DiDi taxi transports make other places highly accessible. The gym and pool access was not clearly labelled and we have to figure out an alternative way to access them. The staff are friendly and breakfast comprises a good variety of food, delicious too! Our room is located next to a restaurant that is under renovation so the noise at times during the day was not pleasant. The room is very spacious and comfortable. Overall, the stay is lovely."
