A hidden gem near the high-speed rail station?

A hidden gem near the high-speed rail station? A detailed review of Liyang Marriott Hotel: A guide to avoiding pitfalls and discovering hidden surprises! 1. Location: A blessing for high-speed rail travelers, a "minefield" for those with sleep disorders - "Zero distance" transportation advantage: The hotel entrance faces south and is right next to Liyang High-speed Rail Station. It is a 5-minute walk to the station hall. Business travelers can catch early trains without stress, and short trips to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai can be realized with "get off the train and check in". - Double-edged sword noise warning: It has been tested that high-floor rooms can still hear the high-speed rail arrival announcement (6 am to 11 pm). It is recommended that those sensitive to noise request north-facing rooms or bring earplugs. - Accessibility analysis of attractions: It is about a 30-minute drive from Tianmu Lake/Nanshan Bamboo Sea. The hotel offers car rental services (from CNY 200 per day), but public transportation requires multiple transfers and takes more than 1.5 hours. Non-self-driving tourists should choose carefully. 2. Space aesthetics and functional design: Restrained expression of new Chinese style - Lobby highlights: 12-meter high space with a giant crystal chandelier, and a wood-colored screen cleverly divides the waiting area and tea break area. There is a free Liyang white tea experience on weekday afternoons, but I personally feel that the lobby is not bright. - Guest room test: Basic room type starts from 42 square meters, standard with TOTO fully automatic toilet + Dyson hair dryer. I have stayed twice, once in an executive room and once in a standard suite. The suite is a standard Marriott product, and the living room has a separate bathroom, so one person can sleep on the sofa. However, some rooms have noise from the fresh air system (it is recommended to test it on-site when checking in). 3. Hardcore supporting experience: "Replacement philosophy" for executive treatment players - Weekend member benefits: When the executive lounge is closed, platinum and above members can receive a complimentary seafood buffet dinner for two (market price CNY 368 per person). It has been tested that fresh oysters, crayfish, Liyang liver, and other hard dishes are supplied. I don't know if the hotel still has such an operation now, you can contact them in advance to confirm before checking in. - Hidden benefits activation: Enjoy room rate discounts with Liyang cultural and tourism consumption vouchers. When I checked in on Saturday, the discount was more than CNY 400 per night, and the weekend buffet dinner was simply too good. - Fitness enthusiasts must-see: The 24-hour gym is equipped with a full set of Technogym equipment. However, the pool water temperature is low, so you need to warm up. There is also a children's pool, which can accommodate five or six children playing. I remember there is a small children's toy area outside the gym, suitable for young children. 4. Service temperature test: "Human touch" behind digitalization - Local surprise: The front desk provides a hand-drawn "Liyang Niche Self-driving Map", marking non-internet celebrity attractions such as white celery picking bases and Songling Ancient Post Road. - Service complaints: The speed of replenishing dishes during the peak period of the Saturday buffet dinner is slow. The buffet given to Marriott Platinum members when the executive lounge is closed has fewer limited steaks than normal diners. Small flaws, don't be greedy. [Summary] ✅ Business travelers traveling by high-speed rail | ✅ Self-driving families | ✅ Frequent travelers who stay overnight ❌ People with sleep disorders | ❌ Free travelers without cars | ❌ Executive lounge heavy users should choose carefully A small surprise, written at the end: The rooftop terrace of the hotel is an excellent location for shooting high-speed rail passing through Liyang city night scenes!
