Located in central Suzhou, this hotel tries to be a 4-star, but comes across as a 3. It had a musty smell in the entire hotel.

I did not know I was staying here as it was booked by the local factory. I asked for a central location and they told me I was booked into a different hotel, so when we pulled up I was a little confused. As a result I had not read or are influenced by existing reviews.

I especially like the room which I stayed in.... More
