The service was excellent, the breakfast spread was good and delicious. Bed and room comfortable and quiet. Locality is at the Zhangjiajie TianZhiShan entrance about 5 mins by car. Parking is free and easy. Walking to the main street is about 5 mins where u can find food and to do some shopping.
If you wish to have a easy way to tour zhangjiajie park with little walking, we did it by parking our car at the basement car park at the tianzhishan entrance. Paid the entrance fee of 228 yuan per head, take their shuttle bus to the cable car (72 yuan per haed) station up to tianzhishan, spectacular view. From there take the connecting shuttle bus to He Long park where there is a McDonalds and more sight seeing. Connecting again by bus provided to tian xie di yi qiao and skip the sight seeing there if u are not energetic, instead ask for direction and a 5 min-walk to take the bai long tian ti (lift costs 65 yuan) down to base station, at the base of the lift, take the shuttle bus again back to the tian zhi shan entrance where the car was parked. All in all u need about 5 hours. In this sense, the hotel is central to the planned activities. U may also drive up to another xin mu kang park entrance westward and the drive is scenic and relaxing, it's free as u are not entering the park. It's a 1 hour leisure drive. We enjoyed our stay in Crown plaza and it's very restful. We had dinner in the restaurant too and find the food good.
