Mercure Hotel Suzhou Jinji Lake

Conveniently located near the Gate of the east and metro station. Walking distance from苏州中心，a very fancy mall with lots of restaurants. Location wise it's great. The only downside is the laundry level looks rather creepy and almost no interior renovated.

Modern and clean room. Some small disappointment is a view that can’t see much thing even I’m on higher floor because it faced to the other side, while I booked this hotel with expectation to see Pants Tower. (Suzhou Center) The location is not very close to public transportation. I walked from metro, quite far. So when I return, I took Didi to train station instead. Surrounded with construction. So not sure when those construction will be completed in the future. Oh! And one worst thing is the air conditioning in autumn. Even though it’s cold outside the building, but in the room, without air conditioning and ventilation, it’s too hot and difficult to breathe. I asked for some help so I received a small fan that can help a bit. But still not comfortable to sleep. At least if I can open the window a bit, it will be much better. What I like most here is the lobby decoration that’s full of books. Breakfast is various and nice, too.

Clean hotel, the staffs are polite and friendly. When we need recommendations on places to visit or eat, they won’t hesitate to help.

Daisy did a wonderful job taking care of us. We had a wonderful time at the Mercure.

This is the best hotel I stayed during this trip. Surrounding areas quiet. But convenient to travel around. Metro Line 1 just next to hotel. Approx 15 min walk to metro station. But there 2 long flights of stairs. So those with large luggages better be careful. Better to take DiDi. Bathroom, toilet and wash areas are separated. There are self service laundry on 2 floors. Very useful. Room is spacious. Highly recommended 👍👍
