Xuanmengyuan Inn

I had a terrible time at this place. In over 50 years of traveling this was my worst experience. Maybe it was because I didn't meet the owner who has rave reviews from other guests. But the room I thought I had booked was the first one in the photos. What I got looked nothing like it. Two beds, small, like another guest said, old bedding and only cold water in the sink in the bathroom (the toilet is a squat and the shower enters directly into it). I asked for a different room and was given another one that looked basically the same, just a bit bigger. But the worst experience was that there were five of us coming to the Inn at the same time (a party of 4 and me, a solo traveler). They sent someone to pick us up from the train station (which was great) and when I asked how much it cost the driver told me it was free (which was a surprise and not necessary, but still). Later they asked me to pay 100 RMB for the ride (about 10 minutes). I said either that was outrageous (5 people all paying 100 = 500) or I was paying for everyone which I didn't agree to do, since I didn't know them. I did pay, but they got very insulting and started to shout at me. What they said didn't make any sense (I don't speak Chinese and use a translation app) but they did say was that since I was traveling alone I had to pay double. I felt very uncomfortable. In the end I didn't stay there. I found another hotel down the street that was much more pleasant. As I left the woman came after me and flung the 100 RMB bill on the street behind me. It was the worst experience I've ever had and I've traveled the whole world.

一個冷門旅遊小鎮，鎮上吃的便宜，我住的是便宜的房間，設施設備有點舊了，被子那些也有點舊了，老闆説可以加錢換好一點的房間，設施要新一些，我還是住的便宜的，不過被子跟房間沒有異味，

離豆沙關景區很近，裝修有年代感，也很乾凈，老闆娘很熱情，蔡老師還給我們介紹了豆沙關一些歷史，網上看不到的那種，就是空調外機聲音太響，有點吵着睡覺。
