The entrance was easy to find, with clear signs all the way. It's located within the Provincial Cadre Institute. Although it's a shared elevator, the floors above and below are all classrooms for the Jiangsu Youth and Senior University, so it felt very secure.
The elevator opens directly into the lobby. The restaurant is on the mezzanine level. I'd seen comments about free breakfast, but Trip.com said it wasn't included. I decided to ask at the front desk anyway, and to my surprise, there really was free breakfast!
The restaurant is small, with only two or three tables. The staff, including some ladies and aunties, eat breakfast there too. They had small dishes, fried rice, soy milk, and *youtiao* (fried dough sticks), and one of the aunties even gave me a tea egg.
My room wasn't big, pretty much an open space, which was fine for one person since there wasn't much counter space. Besides the smart toilet, the bathroom also had a heated towel rack, which I'd never seen in a hotel before. However, beneath the mirror by the sink, there were three double eyelid tapes stuck to the wall! I initially thought they were part of the pattern, but on closer inspection, they were definitely double eyelid tapes! Perhaps the cleaning auntie is older and didn't recognize them, but seriously, which lady left these 'souvenirs'? Instead of leaving your double eyelid tape on the vanity where it's easy to spot, you stuck it on the wall – that really tests one's eyesight. Also, I couldn't find a shower cap among the toiletries, and one of the toothbrush packets only had the handle, no bristles!
Despite a few hiccups, because of the excellent service and the genuinely warm, home-like feeling in the restaurant, overall, I'd still give it a good review.
