I am a VIP Card holder of the Green Tree Inn chain of hotels in China. I always use it every time I travel because I can make reservations through their phone hotline and they have an English speaking CSR. So, when I went to Suzhou on my next pleasure trip I stayed in the Wuzhong area because it's near the place of my interest. After going through the usual confirmation of booking and showing my VIP card, I went to my room. However, to my surprise, I was a given a room which was recently used,filthy and small. I had booked for a bigger and more spacious room. While waiting for a new room, the hotel has NO SMOKING SIGNS on the 3rd Floor however, the hallways smelled of cigarettes and the carpets need replacing already. I guess this one is an old hotel. Good thing, the staff were able to makeup for their misdemeanor by helping me with my taxi and bus information. They wrote the Chinese note which I gave to the city bus to alert the driver that I'm a foreigner and that I had to get off on the indicated bus stop. For an overview of the surrounding area, the night lights around the hotel are ok since you can see the Suzhou "Eiffel Tower" with its dancing lights if you stand near the canal bridge. It is very accessible since the there are two bus tops in front of the building and in the adjacent corner. There is a Long Distance Bus Station just behind the hotel but I wasn't interested to know which provinces it served. If you would like to see the modern side, this is NOT the hotel to stay in. It is very far from the Industrial Park and other tourist spots like the Gardens and the Amusement Part. In fairness to Green Tree, they have other branched near these places of interest.
