Holiday Inn Express Hotels in Zhangjiagang

Because I am a gold member of InterContinental, I chose to stay at the Holiday Inn Express Chengdong when passing through Zhangjiagang during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays. Overall, I was very satisfied. The day of check-in was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the location was not close to tourist attractions, so there were not many guests that night. The car could be parked in the inner courtyard behind the hotel. The space was very empty. It would be better if it could be equipped with charging piles (I took a tram). The hotel's service level has maintained the high standards of the Intercontinental Group. Children's toiletries and evening restaurant snack experience coupons are provided to the children when they check in. In addition, the lobby is also equipped with toys and chess and cards that children like, and the front desk also provides fruits before leaving. Overall, It is said that it is the most satisfactory among the many Holiday Inn Express hotels I have stayed at. I will choose it again next time I pass by.

Holiday Inn Express Zhangjiagang Free Trade Zone: A Model [I. Overview] ”Hotel comprehensive recommendation index (full score of five stars): 5 stars.”       Hotel frequent traveler membership level: IHG Diamond (formerly ”Zhiyue”) elite for many consecutive years. Stayed in 1,129 hotels, 26 hotels in Jiangsu, and 10 hotels in Suzhou.       Comprehensive evaluation (highlights, shortcomings, regrets): It is much better than those hotels with more problems (Zhangjiagang Dongcheng, Shanghai Greenland Putuo, Qingpu New Town, Jinan Jingshi Road, etc.), and there are almost no shortcomings. Both the software and hardware are remarkable. It can be said that it is a model, model, example and perfect representative of Zhangjiagang business hotels. 【II. Guest Rooms | In Room】 ”Welcome gifts and upgrade benefits: welcome drinks, welcome fruits, diamond welcome gift packages are all available (the variety of snacks is extremely rich), but no suite upgrade was given (in fact, the occupancy rate is very low, because this area is not a traditional tourist destination, and the bonus of the May Day holiday cannot be enjoyed. It is mainly business guests. In addition, the sparse crowd in the breakfast room can also determine that the occupancy rate is not high. In this case, it is a bit unreasonable to only upgrade to a slightly larger room).”       Room layout and hardware evaluation: This plot of land belongs to a developer - hotel, community, Tianshui Yaju Wedding Center, supermarket, commercial center, gym, etc., all gathered together, and the rooms that are not facing the street face the community, which is very quiet. Many developers will build a hotel when building residential buildings, so that they can reasonably avoid Shui, and whether they make money is secondary.       Minibar, bathroom accessories: Starting this year, Luckin Coffee and Zhixuan have started in-depth cooperation. All IHG members staying at Smart Choice can enjoy Luckin's first-class freshly ground Arabica coffee blended from my hometown in Yunnan and Ethiopia for free 24 hours. Diamond members will also receive a small gift box of Luckin freeze-dried coffee powder for free when they check in. Smart Choice has done a particularly good job in this regard. The standard Smart Choice official travel cup and the various varieties (the large pot coffee option is especially suitable for coffee ******* like me) are really thoughtful in choosing the colors. It's just that the empty space for the coffee machine on the first floor was uniformly moved to the entrance of the breakfast room upstairs.       Guest room view: The surrounding area is densely populated with residential areas, but the planning is reasonable and does not look messy. Among the top 100 counties in China, the four county-level cities managed by Suzhou City are among the top seven in the country every year (champion Kunshan, third place Zhangjiagang, fourth place Changshu, and seventh place Taicang), and the people are very rich. 【III. Dining】 ”Executive Lounge Food Types and Services: There is a KFC downstairs (KFC with children's play area is rare in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen) and a noodle shop.”       Hotel Breakfast and Services: Breakfast has the standard four-season desserts of Smart Choice (one each for the Beginning of Spring, Summer Solstice, Autumnal Equinox and Beginning of Winter).       Hotel Restaurant Hardware, Taste and Services: If you want to eat local cuisine, the most cost-effective one is ”Qing Jiangnan” in Wuyue Plaza. 【IV. Facilities】 ”Gym: The gym is not in the hotel, but cooperates with other single gyms. You can use it for free after getting a coupon at the front desk. Turn right and walk 200 meters. There are many forms of such joint gyms, such as a Smart Choice next to Disney, which also has a swimming pool.”       Swimming Pool: None.       Children's Play: There are three 4A scenic spots in Zhangjiagang: Xiangshan, Jiyang Lake and Fenghuang Mountain.       Business Center: No official laundry bags from Smart Choice are provided, only ordinary plastic bags are provided. Only a symbolic fee of one cent is required for washing and drying. [5. The Moments] ”Advantages and disadvantages: The shaving foam supplier is very poor. When I opened the shaving foam, there was no gel inside. It was empty.”       Star employee's outstanding performance and commendation: The cleaning lady's attitude was not very good; the little boy at the front desk was very humble. [6. Conclusion] ”Highlight moments of the trip: His air conditioner is Fuji, which is rare.”       Nearby food, attractions, and entertainment: The Starbucks in Jingang Town is at No. 182, Changjiang Middle Road.       Hotel location and transportation: The bonded area is more than half an hour away from Zhangjiagang's long-distance bus station and Zhangjiagang high-speed railway station.
