My stay at Xinxiang Yayuan was an overall good experience. The staff were exceptionally accommodating and friendly, going out of their way to help with everything from early breakfasts to bicycles for exploring the city. However, the room we stayed in was a bit small for a family with two kids, and the beds were uncomfortably hard (definitely felt like rocks!). Despite these minor setbacks, the authentic charm of this boutique hotel makes it a place I would recommend.
