As a former resident of Suzhou New District, specifically the Shizishan area, this is my go-to hotel whenever I return. Great location for those visiting this specific area for whatever reason.
Maybe not so much if you're just visiting Suzhou, generally, as a tourist. But if you want a quieter but more modern area, with good transport links, restaurants, nice scenery, & quite easy access to the mountains, it certainly isn't a bad choice. Not far from a few temples too, including Hanshan.
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest,Thank you so much for your continued support and loyalty to our hotel. As you kindly mentioned, our prime location is indeed one of our greatest advantages. Situated in the bustling heart of the High-Tech Zone, our hotel is part of a well-equipped shopping center, with direct access to Line 3 of the subway on the basement level, extensive bus routes, and complimentary parking for guests—making transportation incredibly convenient. During your stay with us, you can enjoy a refreshing shower, a peaceful and comfortable sleep, and wake up to a nutritious and balanced breakfast buffet in the morning. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit! IHG Social Listening Team

Excellent location in New District. It is located at a great shopping mall that has great eateries and there are a few nearby parks to enjoy as well. You can easily take a Didi to get to other destinations within Suzhou or take the metro and enjoy the ride. The staff is friendly and professional. The rooms are spacious and clean with great amenities. The breakfast is delicious as well. We booked another night because we had a great first night stay.

The location is quite good & the building looks hyper modern. Yet the room decoration is old in such a modern building: old-fashioned sofa & desk, old-fashioned carpet, etc. The amenity certainly needs update in order to match the reputation of this global brand.
Response from Property: Dear guest, Thank you for staying with us and providing us with this valuable feedback. Holiday Inn Express has always located in convenient locations such as near commercial centers or subway stations. We apologize that the hotel facilities did not meet your expectations. In the future, we will strengthen the maintenance of our facilities and accelerate updates. We hope you will stay with us again. IHG Social Listening Team

Everything is great except the small room size.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and leave a review. We are sorry to hear that the room size did not meet your expectations.
