Joysuites Nantong

Location: Great location, about 100 meters from the subway station. There's a large shopping mall downstairs, making dining and drinks very convenient. Room facilities: The room was spacious, an apartment-style hotel with a kitchen and washing machine. The biggest highlight was the bed and pillows; they were more comfortable than those at other hotels, including some luxury ones. The firmness was just right, very comfortable. The selection was excellent. Cleanliness: The hygiene was well-maintained; I didn't notice any issues. Dining: It came with a breakfast, and the breakfast experience was also good. While the selection wasn't vast, it covered a decent range of options, and you could tell from the taste and ingredients that thought was put into it. The restaurant also offered high-altitude views. One minor inconvenience was that ordering takeout wasn't as easy. For security reasons, you need to swipe your card to use the elevator, which is good, but it would be even better if they could add a delivery robot in the future. Overall, the experience was great. Recommended.

Turns out it was a smoking room. As soon as I opened the door, a strong smell of smoke hit me, so I had to open the window to air it out. The room ventilation was poor, but it was quite spacious, and there's a mall and a subway station right downstairs, which makes getting around very convenient. The breakfast was awful, but all room bookings include it. I wish they'd offer a room-only option. There's always a security guard at the ground floor entrance, which made me feel very safe.
