Yiwu International Trade City

If you want to go to Thousand Island Lake, this has to be one of the top choices, especially if you want nature and solitude. The fact that there are no other hotels around the InterContinental is for me what made the hotel luxurious. If you want a lot of nightlife, activities, or shopping beyond the hotel itself, then this isn't the right choice for you. But peace and beauty or romance---it's a great choice. The rooms are big and comfortable, great pillow menu, great balcony and view. We visited when stink bugs were flying around, and the staff person who came when asked to remove the bugs was truly excellent. She was an example of great service. The hotel needs some repairs and additional staff. For example, the swimming pool and locker rooms at night were a total mess. The toilets were broken and clogged. This uncleanliness was pretty shocking. The night we ate at the restaurant, all the fresh local fish dishes were already sold out by around 7:30. I read a review that said to skip the hotel's boat ride to an island where you take a cable car to a view. I wish I listened. The view is not great and you don't see much of the lake and its islands on the way there and back. There should be a bette boat tour of the lake available, where people can enjoy seeing more of the type of gorgeous views that the lake is famous for. The view from the hotel's lake view room is really nice though. So was the sunset at the lighthouse. Improvements are needed to be considered 5 star.
