The rooms are clean, and the beds are very comfortable (the beds are, in fact, some of the most comfortable beds I've found in China!). The location is perfect for access to the bus station (for buses to Zhengzhou and the Shaolin Temple) and there are plenty of places to eat nearby. The showers are basic but hot.
Dengfeng is much more than the Shaolin Temple, by the way. It's a great place for an evening stroll, a popular activity with the locals, along the wide, tree-lined streets and take in the town's relaxed atmosphere.
