Top hotels in Gusu District
Pan Pacific Suzhou
The location is good, the facility is beautiful. The staffs seem all new on job and most of them do not know about their jobs. The breakfast is ok, and the chinese restaurant is ok. The Rui noodle place is awful. The noodles and other dishes taste below average.
