This hotel in Hushu, Nanjing is fantastic!

My first visit to Jiangning Hushu, and I was instantly charmed by the Magnotel hidden in Jinbao Commercial Plaza. Just under 5 minutes from the highway toll exit, and you can check out by scanning a code at the front desk for free parking – a dream come true for road trippers, no more worries about finding parking or paying fees. The food options downstairs were full of delightful surprises. The street food stalls right across from the hotel come alive in the evening. For business travelers, the self-service laundry room on the second floor is a lifesaver. The tumble dryer-equipped washing machines come with free detergent – just toss in your pile of shirts, and in half an hour, you’ll have crisp, dry "battle gear," no more sighing at wrinkled clothes in your suitcase. The front desk service is impeccable too – upon check-in, they handed me a neighborhood map marked with the best photo spots at Yangliu Lake Scenic Area and discount info at the outlets. Before leaving, I made sure to explore the area around the hotel. The bus stop is right at the doorstep, and a 13-minute taxi ride gets you to China Pharmaceutical University Metro Station. For cross-province commuters, the neighboring Jurong West Station is super convenient.
