The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, making it a good value for money. The service staff was friendly and professional, although there were some language barriers. Dining options were adequate, but the breakfast could have been better. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with a few areas for improvement.

I stayed at this hotel recently and found it to be a mixed experience. On the plus side, the location is convenient to the airport and there's a large shopping complex nearby. The rooms are a decent size and have free Wi-Fi, but they could use some improvements as they felt a bit dusty and not as luxurious as expected. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but some service aspects needed better organization. Overall, it's a good spot if you're just looking for a place near the airport, but it might not be ideal for sightseeing in the city.

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport, which is great for travelers, but it is a bit far from downtown Kunming and sightseeing spots, so you'll need to be self-sufficient. The rooms are spacious and feature luxurious materials, but unfortunately, the air conditioning didn't work during my stay. The dining options were tasty, especially the Yunnan rice noodles. I appreciated the friendly service, although it seemed somewhat untrained at times.
