Great hotel located in Wuhan's Central Business District. Very good facilities and nice views of the lake and city. In my three-night stay, I appreciated the large bathroom and comfortable bed (still a bit hard for my Western standards, but softer than many Chinese hotel beds I've known). On the whole, quite comfortable, though housekeeping could be a bit more on top of things--my room needed a vacuum when I checked in. Once I complained, however, they kept things clean for the remainder of my stay.
Service was better than I expected. Staff were courteous and helpful and always had big smiles for me.
I did't use the gym or try the restaurant, so I can't say anything other than they looked quite nice.
The only complaint I have is that it was really difficult to get a taxi, which is weird for a hotel with such a good location. The hotel forecourt is quite small and they don't let taxis park near the entrance, so it's a bit of an adventure--a couple times a doorman had to run out into the street to flag a cab down for me (part of that better-than-expected service!).
I used to stay in the Shangri-la on my Wuxi trips, but it's getting old and needs to be renovated. The Jin Jiang is my new Wuhan standby. Recommended.
