“ Nice Hotel ”
Reviewed Oct 19, 2010
It is a nice hotel; clean and centrally located. However, don't book the tours through the hotel.
I had a bad experience with the east bound 1-day tour. The bus was dirty and old. It was about lunch time when we were at Terracotta Warriors however; the guide would not let us eat instead took us to a lousy restaurant only to be ripped off with tasteless food. Very disappointing!!!
