The room: I really loved it, except there was no TV. The private hot spring was genuine, and soaking in it was very comfortable~ The complimentary face mask was quite nice, and the cinnamon fragrance was super pleasant. The service was pretty average; we had to go downstairs to pick up the takeout we ordered at night because the robot that usually delivers was probably charging; There were almost no entertainment options in the hot spring area, which was quite boring; I wasn't used to the breakfast, there were few choices, and it wasn't tasty. ❤Reasons for recommendation: 1⃣️I absolutely adore the garden-style hotel!! The semi-Suzhou garden style is full of Jiangnan charm with just a casual snap~ The rockery, bonsai🪴, pavilions, and towers🏡, and the Chinese design style all exude a strong sense of Suzhou's charm, magnifying the allure of the southern town to the extreme, and it's irresistible for northerners🥰 2⃣️The hotel's facilities are complete, and the soundproofing is also very good. The bathtub🛁 will have a disposable cover prepared, and the curtains will open slowly🌅, even the toilet is smart! I must praise their mattress, I slept very soundly at night, and outside the window was a full view of the garden landscape, creating a great atmosphere✨ 3⃣️The hotel service is also good, pet-friendly🐶, you can bring your husky or kitty, and the front desk will thoughtfully prepare snacks and a small bed for the little animals~ The hotel also has a gym and a swimming pool🏊‍♀️ 4⃣️It's within walking distance to the Metro Line 5🚇, which goes directly to Suzhou's scenic spots. The hotel is right opposite Suzhou's moat, and a ten-minute walk will take you to Shiquan Street👍 .
