The location is very good and very urban. There are 711, Daiso and Fengkang supermarkets opposite. The room is big and the breakfast is delicious. On Friday night, the double room is less than 3,500 yuan, including breakfast and a bathtub. I can't find it at this price.

This feedback highlights two key aspects:
* Stunning Scenery: Emphasizes the beauty of the sunset and windmills, which are major draws for visitors.
* Excellent Guide: Acknowledges the value of a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide.
