Atour Hotel, Changjiang Road, Baolong Plaza, Wuxi

There's a little aquarium with betta fish, which gives this hotel an unusual touch. When you put your key card in after entering the room, the lights switch on and music starts. Usually you can turn the music off with the speaker remote, but if its batteries are dead, you can't. Unplugging the speaker is the only fix, which is frustrating. The room is very large, perhaps more space than needed. Light settings, including the bathroom lights, are controlled by a touch panel beside the bed. You may wake up to the betta fish in its tiny tank. They tend to stay still and can look dead at times, though they don't seem to die easily. Breakfast begins at 7:00, and it's best to get there early. There's a Starbucks nearby with a convenience store next to it. Mangyotei is a short walk away, though I found getting there a bit inconvenient. The window is left open, so close it yourself or the room gets cold. The front desk can call a taxi.

The smart home gadgets in the room are a nice touch, and the quality is very good. It was inexpensive too, really cheap. I'd recommend this hotel.

It's inexpensive, and the rooms are reasonably clean. A good option.

Wi-Fi is fast, but there are no Korean broadcasts, and getting a taxi is difficult.
