Stayed another night after coming back from Suzhou. Since we arrived early, the only room left was the very last one down the corridor. It was quite a walk from the elevator, and having only one elevator for the whole building isn't ideal, especially with so many rooms on the second floor. One elevator really isn't enough. The third floor was under renovation, so hopefully, they'll add more elevators once it's done!
Also, today's room was a corner unit, so it was very spacious. While large is good, the lighting was too dim, making some areas quite dark. The bathroom wasn't bright enough either. There's a small makeup mirror at the vanity, but it's useless because the light doesn't reach it – how am I supposed to put on makeup in the dark? I thought opening the curtains would help, but it didn't; there's a panel blocking the window, leaving only two small slits on either side to see outside, so the room still didn't get any brighter. The air conditioning in the room also wasn't very cold. When I reported it, the front desk said it was centrally controlled, and that was that.
The hotel's location is still excellent, very close to the subway station – just a few steps away. Subway Line 1 goes directly to Xiaoshan Airport, and it's convenient for getting everywhere. There are many shops nearby, and it's very close to West Lake, Hefang Street, Wushan Square, etc.
One more thing to add is that the hotel's laundry room is great. It has 4 washing machines and 4 dryers, and the TV in the room shows the availability of the machines. However, it's quite a long walk because the laundry room is right by the elevator exit, and our room was at the very end of the hall. 😆
