"I happened to be in Jiangyin for a wedding, so I chose this new hotel. The reviews were mixed, but after my own stay, I felt it was truly remarkable, barely acceptable for a five-star rating.
Entering the lobby, the receptionist was completely new and completely unfamiliar with the hotel procedures and room amenities. Luckily, it wasn't a holiday; National Day was coming up, and I could see how busy it was.
This time, I booked a suite with executive privileges (55th floor). The perks are shown in the picture, so please check them out. They also happened to offer a complimentary afternoon tea (which was hilarious). After so many stays at this hotel, this was my first time with nothing at all—just two small desserts, not even cake. It was such a ridiculous rip-off! It should have been better off not offering it at all; it was completely worthless. Then, overhearing us complaining about the afternoon tea, the waiter gave us a few cookies (likely a beggar?).
Room Amenities The hotel is quite new. The roller blinds are nice and flexible, and they block out a lot of light. Unfortunately, the water trap leaks.
Bed: The bed is nice and I slept quite comfortably.
Restaurants: There are two restaurants, the Chinese and the Western. I ate at the Western restaurant once, and aside from the steak, everything else was average. And their salad was, oh my god, so salty! I wonder what the chef was thinking.
Breakfast: Honestly, the breakfast selection isn't very varied. I'm not sure if they'll be able to satisfy the crowds during the National Day holiday. The wontons were not very good; the meat and skin were separated, making them unpalatable.
Cleanliness: The toilet seat was hairy and had stains in it (which I think is a big no-no). There was also double-sided tape on the glass (probably from the previous owner).
Service: The service was average. There wasn't a five-star attitude. Smiling greetings and welcomes were always welcome, including from the manager. If you need help, they're pretty quick to resolve your issues (I added them on WeChat).
Finally, if you're here for business, an occasional overnight stay is fine. If you're just here for fun (there's nothing much to do around here, and it's still under development), there's no need to come all that far. The promotion doesn't match the actual experience. Several elderly Shanghainese women were also left speechless by the afternoon tea in the executive lounge. The hotel pool is nice, but it can feel small when crowded. It's fine when there aren't many people. Personally, I don't think you need to make a special trip to stay here. It doesn't have any special features.

Finally, if you're here for business, a one-night stay is fine. If you're just visiting for fun (there's nothing much to do nearby, and everything is still under development), there's no need to come specifically.
