Ikh Soyon Hotel

The Gobi


The decent, modern rooms have high ceilings, but are otherwise a bit cramped. Nice touches include wall-mounted flat screens and wood furnishings. It's right next to the market and jeep stand, and remains a solid choice, even if some rooms smell like an airport smoking lounge. The 2nd-floor Chinese restaurant is among the best in town.
