comfortable, clean, reasonably priced, good location by river and next to ancient street

We spent two nights at the Huanshan Hotel. One before we went up to the Yellow (Huangshan) Mountains and one after we came back down. The room was some what drab and a bit worn, when we got off the elevator on our floor there was a couple of old sheets on the hall floor do to recent leak in the roof. The hall was dark and a bit musty not your typical 4 star establishment except for the fancy lobby. The rooms were clean and the beds were standard rock hard Chinese mattresses, price is low and location is very good. Had a view over the river and the location right across from the entrance to Tunxi Ancient town entrance was very handy. The heat didn't come on till around 7 at night....common practice in this provence which made for rather uncomfortable reading or relaxing outside of the warmth of bed.

The staff mostly didn't speak English but were very friendly and there was usually one person at the desk who figured out what we wanted. The business center was very helpful and the computer time was quite cheap. The business center as well as the Lobby and restaurant were always really COLD.

The restaurant was very inexpensive for dinner no one spoke English and it was pretty much just order by pointing and hope for the best. The food was hot, cheap and not to bad. Breakfast was pretty much Chinese fare with some ability to almost toast bread and they did have someone fixing omelets if you ate after 8 am.

I guess the location was it's best feature.
