We spent 2 days there as a stopover before we boarded the train to Lhasa.
Communication was a bit tricky such that we had to resort to automatic speech recognition and machine translation, which worked pretty good actually. In particular receptionist #1 (we don't remember his name - really sorry) was exceptionally helpful at any time!
Breakfast is chinese only, which is alright. As an unexpected surprise we got a little snack every afternoon served to our room.
Surroundings are not exciting with the exception of the mall, that's accessible from the lobby - the supermarket has all kinds of exotic goods. Little shops and restaurants are in walking distance.
