The environment here is nice, with distinctive Tujia characteristics. It mainly serves Sichuan and home-style dishes, which generally have a salty taste. The service is good and the dishes are delicious, although some of them may be a bit heavy in flavor. Recommended dishes include onion stir-fried pork, braised pork, green pepper and corn, and pickled chicken with offal. If you can't eat spicy food, there are also non-spicy options to choose from.

The hotel's location is its biggest advantage, as it is very close to both the Youzhou Scenic Area and the Taohuayuan Scenic Area. It is about 1 kilometer away from the scenic spots, and the hotel is accurately positioned, making it easy to reach the destination through navigation. Although the hotel does not have its own parking lot, there is ample parking available on the street next to the hotel, which should be convenient when it is not the peak tourist season. The overall cost-effectiveness of the hotel is acceptable, with spacious bathrooms, normal supply of hot water, and a simple and clear room style. The facilities may be slightly outdated, but the beds are clean and neatly arranged, making it a good choice overall.
