Greentree Inn (Shangri-La Bus Station)

Greentree Hotel is just across the street with provincial bus terminal. Very convenient when I arrived by bus from Lijiang. Possible to buy bus ticket to Deqen and Dali from here. Western food is just beside and local ones along the street.

Right across the bus station, so you can sleep in and catch the 8am bus to Tiger Leaping Gorge. Large TV in the room with about 2000 free western movies, some less than 6 months old in cinemas. Extremely soft bed (American style). Other than that... This place is average for Chinese standard. The bed itself is clean, but there's mold on the walls and some are even peeping. The bathroom is divided between wet and dry areas but some stuff is falling apart. At least the hot water is scalding and plentiful, which is rare in these latitudes. Service staff is inexperienced, but then again, normal here. Far from the old town, but then again, not the fault of the hotel and I much prefer to take taxis the day before an early start than scramble to find something at 7am. Would stay again.

Staff is very helpful. Pharmacies and food shop are nearby.Good location.
