Hotel dekat Tongli Ancient Town, Suzhou

Now, I can sit here and tell you that we’re staying in an eco-friendly hotel that even though you’re inside its high glass windows gives you an outdoor vibe. I can even sit and talk about the saline pool, its state-of-the-art gym and list all the amenities; and I can even talk about the number of rooms and the fact that as we speak there’s an international summit going on here. Somehow that won’t speak about my experience here at this hotel. Elements (by Westin) Suzhou Science & Technology Town does have all of the above BUT what I love about this hotel is its Staff. I love the fact that they seem to be always be here. I somehow believe that they live onsite because they’re always around. In the morning, even before I enter the Salon I hear, “Nǐ hǎo Marsha” from the Breakfast Host, followed up by the nice lady in the Salon, smiling at me and ushering me to the coffee machine, while handing me my 2 brown sugar packs. She knows my morning habits so quickly. Not only that, because they knew Peter was missing from my breakfast table for a few mornings, they now signal to me with take away containers for Peter, to have his breakfast in the room. When we need to go anywhere the young ladies at the Front Desk (no matter which Shift) are always either asking us where we need to go so that they can call a CASH taxi to get us to our destination. One of them even came with me one day to the Bank of China’s ATM and sat in the taxi while I went in and conducted my business and accompanied me to the Campus to visit Jon-Marc. Yesterday, one of them even used her own Didi account to get us transportation back to the hotel and we reimbursed her (and walked away while she was trying to give us back our change because we knew she wouldn’t have taken the Tip as is their custom). How else could we have shown her how grateful we were for her kind gesture? Then there is Simon Jiang, the General Manager, who speaks perfect English and is always there to assist and offer suggestions of things to do and places to go. Simon was the one who actually explained to me that you can’t just walk into a pharmacy and get anything without a prescription. What I can tell you is that even though he is the GM he is always on hand assisting the staff with their work. Even though there is a clear hierarchy here, he takes off his jacket and assists in the kitchen, you can sometimes see him helping the older ladies bring out the heavy equipment (if needed) when they’re cleaning the floors, clear tables, etc. Or Alex Ju, the Assistant General Manager, who accompanied Peter and I to the hospital and stayed and spoke with the doctor and the international insurance department on our behalf (in Mandarin) to make everything a little easier for us. These people are the ones who have made my stay here memorable and I can honestly say that its because of them that I would recommend Elements by Westin in Suzhou to ANYONE who wanted a place to stay without hassle and with a host of helpful, courteous, friendly staff. It has been my pleasure having encountered such warm, friendly, delightful and gentle human beings.

Hotel dengan taman ber***a Suzhou yang indah, terhubung dengan kawasan bersejarah Panmen. Anda bisa menghabiskan setengah hari menjelajahi hotel dan kawasan ini, baik siang maupun malam pemandangannya sama-sama menakjubkan. Interiornya luas dan megah, dengan desain dan dekorasi modern Tiongkok. Peradaban Tiongkok, termasuk lukisan kuno dan karya seni lainnya, terpampang di area umum, koridor, restoran, dan kamar. Pemandangan dari jendela sangat indah. Fasilitas hotel lengkap, termasuk kolam renang, pusat kebugaran, SPA, klub anak-anak, serta restoran Tiongkok dan Barat. Area hotel sangat luas, dengan taman ber***a Suzhou, paviliun, dan jembatan kecil tersebar di sekitarnya. Terawat dengan sangat baik, bersih, dan terang. Mulai dari staf di lobi depan, kafe, hingga kamar, semuanya sopan, ramah, dan profesional, membuat Anda merasa seperti di rumah! Pilihan sarapan prasmanan juga berlimpah. Ini adalah kunjungan kedua saya, sangat direkomendasikan! Terima kasih atas layanan yang hangat dari hotel, semoga bisnis hotel semakin maju dan banyak tamu yang berdatangan!

Ulasan jujur, ditulis di kereta yang meninggalkan Suzhou. Saya merasa hotel ini sangat sepadan dengan harga 357 yuan per malam. Pertama, hotel ini memiliki tiga lantai; meja resepsionis berada di lantai 7. Staf hotel menghubungi saya sehari sebelumnya untuk menjelaskan situasinya, termasuk petunjuk arah ke hotel, masalah pemeliharaan jalan di area tersebut, dan saran untuk wisata dan tempat makan. Mereka sangat perhatian, dan sebagai orang yang kasar, saya merasa sangat nyaman. Saat saya check-in di meja resepsionis, saya diberitahu bahwa saya dipindahkan ke kamar dengan hanya jendela palsu dekoratif. Saya telah membaca ulasan yang menyebutkan hal ini sebelumnya, tetapi saya tidak terlalu peduli, karena berada di jalan pejalan kaki dan tidak banyak yang bisa dilihat. Setelah masuk, dekorasi keseluruhan langsung membuat saya merasa nyaman. Kesan pertama adalah luasnya ruangan. Di sebelah kiri terdapat lemari pakaian dan meja rias, dengan bar berbentuk L yang berfungsi sebagai pembatas, menuju area tatami dan tempat tidur besar yang berada di tengahnya. Di sebelah kanan terdapat kamar mandi pribadi yang tertata rapi dengan pancuran dan, yang paling tidak terduga, bak mandi. Setelah seharian berjalan kaki, saya cukup lelah, jadi berendam di bak mandi benar-benar menenangkan. Suara bising dari konstruksi yang disebutkan resepsionis tidak terjadi; mereka jelas telah mengerahkan banyak upaya dalam desain kamar dan peredaman suara. Empat foto pertama di bawah ini diambil pagi ini setelah mengunjungi taman kucing dan Kuil Hanshan, ketika saya kembali untuk mengambil barang bawaan saya. Harus saya akui, rekaman video mereka sendiri sama sekali tidak diedit; saya terkejut ketika memasuki area akomodasi. Foto-foto berikut berasal dari obrolan saya dengan staf, yang sangat menyenangkan. Terakhir, berikut adalah tiga rendering yang mereka kirimkan kepada saya. Harus saya akui, rendering tersebut tidak terlihat sebagus kamar sebenarnya. Saya biasanya tidak mengambil foto kamar saya, jadi ini sangat disayangkan. Hotel ini bebas rokok; jika Anda ingin merokok, silakan pergi ke teras atap. Mereka tidak menyediakan korek api atau pemantik. Penyumbat telinga tersedia di meja resepsionis. Suzhou adalah kota yang tenang, dan hotel ini tidak terkecuali. Hotel ini meninggalkan kesan yang sangat baik bagi saya, dan saya pasti akan kembali lagi lain kali.

We were looking forward to our stay here and suffice to say, it did not disappoint. Location was great and it's located along Pingjiang Road. It made for a very convenient stroll at anytime of the day. We wanted to experience the street at its busiest to the quiet in the middle of the night once shops close and tourists leave. The sound of light footsteps and wheels rolling against cobbled path during the break of dawn to lightly stir you from your sleep were strangely soothing and nice to wake up to. Pillows were a lil soft to our liking but each to their own. We had a great stay nonetheless.
