A lovely hotel and rooms were great -but everything is HK prices. Drinks were RMB 35. Very little around the hotel, although one little lady selling cold drinks across the car park. No ATM or other services - but only 10RMB to town. Taxis wait outside hotel and an be negotiated with for all day hire. ( RMB 150 to Magao caves and then to Migsha sand dunes) Ctrip arranged free pick up from train station - and we stayed with this taxi driver the whole trip. ( Hotel wanted RMB 800 for railway pick up for a 25 minute drive) and RMB 400 for what we paid the taxi driver RMB 150. Probably the best hotel in town - friendly service in english and chinese. Just be aware that there are lots of other options for all the add ons which they try to 'trap you' into at ALOT cheaper rates. We would go back !
