In Suzhou! Stayed for 3 days and didn't want to check out
Crowne Plaza Suzhou Dong Taihu Lake
Super convenient location 📍
On my recent trip to Suzhou, I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Suzhou Dong Taihu Lake, and the location was absolutely perfect! It's right by Taihu Lake, so you step right out into the beautiful lakeside scenery. There are also many fun places nearby, such as the Dong Taihu Ecological Park, which is full of lush trees and clear lake water, perfect for strolling and taking photos. There's also the Taihu Bay Wetland Park, where you can see lots of water birds – a great place to take kids to connect with nature.
Excellent Fitness Facilities 💪
The hotel's fitness facilities were a pleasant surprise. The gym is fully equipped with treadmills, elliptical machines, dumbbells, and everything else you could need. I was able to work out every morning, getting a good sweat and feeling energized for the whole day. There's also a huge indoor heated pool with a comfortable water temperature. Soaking in the pool while enjoying the lake view outside the window was incredibly relaxing. What surprised me most was the children's play area, which is full of fun toys and play equipment. My nephew had so much fun there that he didn't want to leave, which allowed me to enjoy some time to myself.
Great Value for Money 💰
I was initially worried that such a nice hotel would be expensive, but the price was actually quite reasonable. The rooms are well-equipped, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. After a night's sleep, I felt completely refreshed. The hotel breakfast was also fantastic, with a wide variety of options, including Chinese porridge and steamed buns, as well as Western bread and milk. It was a great way to start each day in a good mood.
Wonderful Check-in Experience 👍
As soon as I arrived at the hotel, the front desk staff greeted me warmly, helped me check in quickly, and introduced me to the hotel's facilities and nearby attractions. My room had an amazing view; opening the curtains revealed the beautiful scenery of Taihu Lake, instantly lifting my spirits. The small details in the room also touched me, such as the brand-name toiletries, free bottled water, and fruit. It all felt very thoughtful.
Unforgettable Little Touches 💕
One of the most memorable moments was when I returned to the hotel late one evening, and the staff had thoughtfully left a light on for me. It made me feel very welcome. Another time, my nephew accidentally lost his toy, and the hotel staff helped me search everywhere for it. In the end, they even gave him a small gift, which made him so happy, and I was very grateful for their kindness.
Tips 📝
If you plan to stay here, be sure to book in advance, as rooms can be scarce during peak season. The hotel restaurant is also quite good, and I recommend trying the local specialties – they're delicious. If you want to relax at the hotel, you can visit the spa; the massage services are very professional and will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated.
Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay at the Crowne Plaza Suzhou Dong Taihu Lake. The next time I'm in Suzhou, I'll definitely choose to stay here again!
