This Meilun Hotel is one of the better Huazhu Group hotels. It offers excellent value for money. The welcome amenities were a thoughtful touch. The room was spacious enough, and the decor and design were also quite good. However, it's quite new, and the first room I was assigned had a strong smell. I was actually considering checking out, but after looking at the reviews, I saw similar complaints. I asked the front desk to switch my room, and the new one was much better.

SONG JIANG BONANZA WINNING HOTEL — From Smoke Signals to Sacred Silence
Arrival & First Sniff
This old dog finally flopped down in Jilin City, relieved to rest my paws at the grandly named Song Jiang Bonanza Winning Hotel. “Winning,” I thought—until my non-smoking room greeted me with a stale tobacco haze. One whiff and I nearly cancelled the stay on the spot.
Room Rescue
Cue Mr Hong Dejian—calm, English-speaking, and clutching the keys to redemption. He patiently showed me alternative rooms until we found one that didn’t smell like a poker night. Had I left, I would’ve missed what came next.
Comfort Food = Home
Dinner delivered a miracle: stewed chicken with potatoes and mushrooms. One bite and—boom—mummy’s cooking. After days on the road, I finally found food in China that tasted like home. Tail wagging resumed.
Care Beyond the Call
Mr Hong returned with a portable heater, pointed out city landmarks, and even taught me how to take a non-reflective photo (yes, this dog learns fast). His easy friendliness softened the edges of dirty window panes and mostly Mandarin-only staff. I even showed him the ink-black towel after wiping the window—evidence, not barking.
Menu Meltdown & A Win
At the restaurant, I was handed a Chinese-only menu after saying I don’t speak Mandarin. I hit the roof. To their credit, reception listened: I received a call from the lady boss, and the issue was acknowledged. Then a hero appeared—the restaurant lady, who patiently translated dish names so I could choose lunch and dinner without guesswork. Gold bone earned.
City Interlude: Jilin Catholic Church
Between meals and meetings, I visited Jilin Catholic Church (吉林耶稣圣心堂)—a quiet pause from hotel hiccups. The church offered a moment of stillness, a reminder that even on a bumpy stay, the city holds pockets of grace.
Logistics That Worked
Back at the desk, the reception lady manager efficiently arranged my transport to Wusong Island—quick, competent, and reassuring.
Breakfast & The Fine Print
Breakfast surprised me in the best way: healthy, balanced, a thoughtful mix of local and Western dishes. One final bone to chew—early booking didn’t pay off as prices dropped later. A truly Winning Hotel would honour the lower rate at check-in.
Verdict
Despite communication bumps, this is a solid winter hideout: good Songhua River views, comforting food, and fast service when it counts. It really does take one good sheep—thank you, Mr Hong—to dim the rest of the flaws.

Stayed for nine nights over Chinese New Year for a fantastic ski vacation. The hotel offers convenient ski-in/ski-out access, and the lobby's lounge area is wonderfully cozy and comfortable, with complimentary hot tea – perfect for warming up after a tiring day on the slopes. The service was incredibly thoughtful; when I extended my stay, I had some booking issues that required canceling and rebooking (even past the free cancellation period), but they patiently assisted me with the rebooking, which I greatly appreciate. Breakfast was also very good. Dinner wasn't expensive, and the customizable Malatang (Sichuan hotpot) was excellent. It was also easy to get to town to buy fireworks and to local farm-to-table restaurants. I even won a bottle of wine during the Chinese New Year activities, wishing for a lucky year ahead. Hope to come back next year!

This new hotel is incredibly close to the train station and truly has a great design aesthetic. The first floor houses a coffee shop/Western restaurant, and the second floor is for hotel accommodations. The coffee tastes quite good, and the air is filled with a pleasant fragrance mixed with coffee aromas, which really brightens your mood. The breakfast selection isn't huge, but it covers all the bases, and the service is excellent – they're always happy to help. I especially want to highlight something: I'm not sure if it was the shampoo, conditioner, or hairdryer, but after washing my hair, it smelled wonderful and felt incredibly fluffy. In the northeast, my hair usually gets flattened from wearing thick hats every day, so I was really pleased with how my hair looked after this wash!

Anonymous UserThe environment is first-class, the accommodation conditions are great, and the service is very friendly. The lady at the front desk is very nice. The room is clean and tidy, and it’s a great value. I didn’t expect to spend such a small amount of money to stay in such a high-end hotel. It’s a very value-for-money experience.

FangzhuHealth service: Very average. After staying for several days, there was no cleaning or replacement of toiletries, bath towels or towels on the first day. I had to go to the store to communicate with the front desk at night to get them done temporarily. The bed was not made during cleaning the next day, only toiletries were changed.
Front desk service: Unskilled, unable to open the door every night when I come back, I have to go to the front desk to get a card.
Parking service: There was no underground parking lot at the beginning, but when it opened later, parking on the ground was not allowed. They kept saying that it was not possible on the ground, and other people's cars could be parked in front of me, and they were treated differently.
Hardware facilities: Some elevators require card swiping, while others do not. The system has not been debugged yet.
On the plus side, the overall hotel appearance, rooms, and lobby hardware are of high quality. It should be very good in Huadian. I hope the soft services can keep up.

[I've struck gold! This hotel totally won me over!] I have to rave about the receptionist, Ms. Qu! She was as warm and welcoming as an old friend. The attention to detail in the room was immediately apparent! There was a ”Welcome Home” decoration on the table, along with fresh oranges and yogurt. Even the steam eye mask had a white lotus scent—the thoughtfulness was off the charts! ✨
The room was decorated in a warm, Chinese style. The bedding was so soft I didn't want to get up. The desk and chair were also very comfortable, and even the artwork on the walls was stylish. Overall, it was clean and cozy—a completely unexpected and wonderful experience!
With such attentive service and attention to detail, I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time!

This is a very good hotel. My mother and two babies are very happy. The hotel rooms are very luxurious, much better than the hotels of the same price in the south. The service quality, especially Wang Bing from the front office, made us feel at home. She was very enthusiastic and explained clearly all the questions we didn't understand. Just because of Wang Bing, I will stay here again when I go back to Jilin.

The environment is good, and I have also made a free upgrade, but it is recommended to install a shower nozzle in the shower room. There is a large shower. It is inconvenient to take a bath. In addition, it is recommended to press a shelf in the shower room and put a wash kit. Every time you take a bath, you have to take it outside. It is too inconvenient.
