Haining!! Just checked out!! Will definitely come back next time, totally worth it 😭

IHG | HUALUXE Haining, Jiaxing 📍HUALUXE Haining and New Century Grand Hotel Haining are roughly diagonally distributed, offering convenient locations. Both are just a few kilometers away from East/West Hill Parks, Xu Zhimo's Former Residence, and Nanguanxiang Historic District. 🚘 Transportation-wise, it's about a 30-minute drive to Yanguan and around 10 km to Haining's Xincang/Daquekou Tidal Bore Viewing Points, making it easy to visit the tidal bore spots. 🏨 The hotel has 23 floors, with the VIP lounge on the 23rd floor and the executive lounge on the 22nd. Initially assigned to the 7th floor, I was later moved to the 6th (the starting floor for guest rooms). Though not a high floor, hearing the front desk mention it was a corner room instantly lifted my mood. 📝 The hotel has many highlights: excellent hardware facilities, a grand and luxurious lobby, and four elevators in the guest room area, with one often waiting open on the first floor—a novel and convenient design for guests. Service is friendly too. The afternoon tea isn't extravagant, but the desserts are of good quality and replenished promptly. Didn't try the pool, but the gym is well-equipped and functional. Personally, I feel the executive lounge's happy hour and breakfast could be improved. 🧹 Soundproofing/Cleanliness The soundproofing is great—rooms are quiet and peaceful. Hygiene is well-maintained, with everything clean and tidy for a comfortable stay. 🏘️ Room Type/Layout The corner room is spacious with clearly divided functional areas. Twin and king bed layouts each have their own charm, catering to different guest needs. The unique doorway design makes it easy to recognize. 🛌 Amenities/Facilities Rooms are fully equipped with smart panels, automated blinds, and curtains, showcasing solid hardware. The hotel also features an executive lounge, gym, pool, and other well-rounded facilities. 💗 Other Tips - The corner room is a signature feature—highly recommended. Layouts vary slightly by room number, so choose based on preference. - The hotel is close to tidal bore viewing spots, making it a great choice if you're planning to watch the tide. - The afternoon tea desserts are worth trying, with prompt replenishment for uninterrupted enjoyment. - The elevator design is thoughtful for easy access—keep an eye out for the one waiting on the first floor. **Summary** HUALUXE Haining boasts a convenient location for visiting attractions and tidal bore spots. The corner room, as a signature offering, is spacious and uniquely designed, delivering pleasant surprises. With top-notch hardware, friendly service, and comprehensive facilities, the hotel provides a great overall stay—though the executive lounge's happy hour and breakfast could be enhanced. It's especially ideal for guests planning to explore Haining's tidal bore or nearby sights.
