Mingzhi Shangchun Holiday Hotel - Dujiangyan Rongchuang Panda Valley Branch

The hotel is very close to Panda Valley, surrounded by plenty of highly-rated restaurants on Dianping, making dining out super convenient. The lobby has quite a few play facilities and arcade games, which is great for entertaining the kids.

First and foremost, and this is the most critical issue: the room door couldn't be locked! The lock just wouldn't engage, even with force. Upon closer inspection, I realized the lock mechanism and the doorframe were misaligned. We ended up having to wedge a chair against the door to keep it shut. Secondly, and equally important for those traveling with children: there was a strong, persistent smell of renovation in both the hallway and the room, even a year after the hotel opened. It suggests poor quality building materials. I strongly advise families with kids, especially those with allergies, to avoid this place. My child started sneezing as soon as they woke up today. We arrived at 10 PM yesterday and left by 8 AM this morning. I booked a room for around 380, which isn't expensive but not super cheap either. Finally, some less critical points: both the bathroom and shower stall were extremely small, and both had glass doors. The shower mat was damp and quite dirty. The toilet would flush by itself at night, making a very loud noise. The glass doors offered no sound insulation, which disturbed our sleep. And the least important thing was the TV, which kept randomly changing volume on its own. 🤣

Two 2-meter beds 🛏️, very spacious for three adults with two children.

We booked this hotel last minute during the National Day holiday in Dujiangyan. It opened last year and the price was quite reasonable. The room was very clean, and the bedding was comfortable. The breakfast spread was also excellent, really good.

This was an official partner hotel for the Chengdu World Heritage Marathon. They offered a late check-out until 4 PM and arranged a shuttle bus to the starting line. Breakfast was moved up to 5:30 AM and was very abundant. After the race, the hotel lobby even proactively provided ginger tea, snacks, and fruit for the athletes – super friendly to runners! My wife said the shower pressure was excellent. From our window, we had a direct view of the Yulei Pavilion in the Dujiangyan Scenic Area, and it's also close to Panda Valley. If you're heading to Mount Qingcheng, the Xinyu Avenue station is right outside, where you can catch the M-TR special tourist train. There are also plenty of affordable local eateries nearby. Overall, a perfect experience!

Staying here just before the Spring Festival, which I guess is off-season, was an absolute steal! We got a deluxe double room for less than 300 yuan, and they even threw in two free breakfasts. The value for money was insane. Honestly, I was a bit hesitant to book such a cheap hotel, but it far exceeded Atour's standards, and at a price that was 2-3 times lower! The location is fantastic too, super close to Panda Valley – a taxi ride was only 9 yuan. Plus, it's right off the highway exit, which was incredibly convenient.

The hotel upgraded my room, and the accommodation was great. The room was very clean, and I'll definitely go back next time. The restaurants around the hotel were also excellent. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

To be objective, this hotel offers terrible value for money! First, the pros: The hotel lobby is very spacious, and the air conditioning in the hall works great. The room size and decor are exactly as shown on the website. Outdoor parking right outside is also very convenient! Now, my concerns. Firstly, price and environment: I booked a suite, and the discounted platform price was 500 per room. When I got to the front desk, the staff member even said, 'Oh, I forgot to change the price.' For hotels in Dujiangyan city, 500 a night is already considered a high-end hotel price, but the environment (in terms of hard furnishings) only matches that of a mid-range business hotel. Facilities: If you're aiming to be a high-end hotel, then elevator safety should be a top priority, right? The elevator doors close automatically 3 seconds after you press the button, almost trapping people. Also, the elevators don't go directly to the underground parking garage! The protective film hasn't even been removed from inside the elevators. Furthermore, the motion-sensor lights in the hallway aren't sensitive enough, the signs are unclear, and finding your room number is purely guesswork. Our suite faced the main street, so the soundproofing was poor, and the room had a strong formaldehyde smell! The air conditioner made a noticeable noise, which meant restless nights for someone with poor sleep quality. The showerhead in the room was also broken, and the hotel amenities (consumables) were of low quality. Even the hangers in a newly opened hotel were broken – it's simply not worth the room rate! Hygiene: Average. There was dust on the bathroom counter, and the provided toilet seat covers were completely unusable. There were also stains on the sofa! Service: From checking in at the front desk to completing the process, the staff's efficiency was poor, and it was incredibly slow. The staff member was muttering to themselves and complaining the whole time. I really wonder how they passed their front desk training! The lobby manager clearly saw that the front desk was slow and guests were getting impatient, but just stood by and watched. Secondly, we ordered some toiletries via food delivery, but because delivery drivers aren't allowed upstairs, it had to be delivered by a robot. We waited for half an hour, and it wasn't until we called the front desk to remind them that they remembered to send it up. Having stayed in mid-to-high-end hotels for many years, this is the first time I've felt a hotel was so undeserving of its price. They want to charge high prices, but their service and facilities can't keep up. I personally will not be returning. I won't be posting photos, and please don't contact me to remove this negative review! Don't bother!
