Qinghai
It's not exactly the Peace Hotel on Shanghai's Bund, but this place at the back of a courtyard car park offers large clean rooms (overlooking the car park, rather than the hills behind, unfortunately). Good value for money, and the cheerful family owners will often offer discounts. Larger 'suite' rooms are also available.
Find it on the left along Maixiu Lu as you walk up from Dehelong Nanlu, just before the turn off to your right.
