[2025 Kunshan Stay] Travel Guide for Courtyard by Marriott Kunshan (Updated May)

📍 Address: No. 999, Xihuan Road, Huaqiao Economic Development Zone, Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province (Exit 3, Shunfan North Road, Suzhou Line 11, only 30 minutes from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, about 15 minutes from Kunshan South Station) When I was on a business trip in Kunshan, I happened to open the Marriott app and found that I could get a room at the Courtyard by Marriott Kunshan for 9,500 points per night (maybe 7,500 in the off-season). It is located right at the subway entrance (if you are not in a hurry, you can experience the cross-city 🚇 from Suzhou to Shanghai❗️). I immediately placed an order to redeem it (if you have a Platinum card, you can also negotiate to upgrade to a suite). It is also suitable for booking a room at your own expense. There are many business travelers staying in the hotel, and it seems that they are all white-collar workers from companies attending conferences or training in Kunshan's industrial area. ⭐️Hotel design style: The hotel adopts a modern and simple design style as a whole. The lobby is dominated by warm colors, with soft lighting, and modern art paintings and sculptures in many corners, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. There are a total of 262 guest rooms, all decorated in warm tones and comfortable furniture. The floor-to-ceiling view faces the city view of Kunshan. If you are lucky, you can be assigned a view room directly facing Huangpu Park. The rooms are equipped with high-quality bedding to ensure that guests have a quiet and comfortable sleeping environment. Every detail reflects the Courtyard brand's pursuit of quality and care for guests. ⭐️Hotel Facilities: ➡️Guest rooms: The hotel has various types of guest rooms, including superior rooms, deluxe rooms, suites, etc., to meet the needs of different guests. The minimum room size is 60 square meters, which is sufficient. The sockets have been modified to have C-type sockets. They have a strong sense of age, but the overall maintenance condition is still good. ➡️Dining: The hotel has an all-day restaurant "Wan Yi Xuan", which provides rich Chinese and Western buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. The executive lounge on the 27th floor also offers happy hour for gold card customers. In addition, the hotel's dining service includes Yuxingji, where you can taste local specialties such as Suzhou noodles and pork ribs. ➡️Fitness Center: The 24-hour fitness center on the 4th floor is equipped with advanced fitness equipment, including rowing machines and yoga balls. ➡️Conference Room: It has multiple multi-functional conference rooms equipped with advanced audio-visual equipment, which is an ideal place for business meetings and training courses. ⭐️Hotel services: The hotel's concierge service is generally quite enthusiastic. In addition to providing luggage storage, taxi services, travel consultation and other assistance at any time, they also greet guests in the lobby every morning and say good morning, creating a great atmosphere. Efficient check-in/check-out service: The hotel adopts advanced self-service check-in/check-out system to save your valuable time. Convenient parking service: The hotel provides free parking for the convenience of guests who drive. #100TravelWays #MarriottGroup #Kunshan #CourtyardbyMarriott #Suzhou #HotelRecommendations

CI is in the lobby on the first floor. Now, without the need for facial recognition, the efficiency is even higher, and during the process, the hotel's facilities, locations, and dining times will be introduced in detail. This time, I was upgraded to an executive king room on the 26th floor. Although the 35m area is not very spacious, it feels okay, as always with Courtyard's style. You can go to the lounge to enjoy drinks, and the welcome fruit was a pleasant surprise with 2 servings. There is no bathtub or coffee machine, but overall it is acceptable. The advantage of Courtyard Kunshan is that it is close to the subway. It takes about 5 minutes to walk from the subway station, and the subway can go directly to Shanghai. This distance is quite good. Breakfast is mainly a Western-style buffet, with some Chinese breakfast options. The variety is quite good, worth a try. The executive lounge is on the 27th floor, and the area is quite large. Access is by card, which avoids the entry of unauthorized people. In the afternoon, only soft drinks are available, but it's a good place to relax. Courtyard by Marriott Kunshan 📍Detailed address: 888 Qianjin East Road, Kunshan Economic and Technological Development Zone

Location and Transportation🚇: The hotel is just 100 meters away from the Shunfan North Road subway station of Suzhou Line 11, next to the Huangpu River Middle Road overpass, making transportation extremely convenient; opposite the hotel is Huangpu Park, which has greenery and a small river, suitable for walking children when the weather is nice. Hotel Facilities and Equipment🛠️: Overall, it has an 'old money' vibe, with the rooms, elevators, and all facilities being quite old. Gym🏋🏻‍♀️: Located on the 3rd floor, it's not very spacious, equipped with treadmills, dumbbells, and other basic fitness equipment. There are a few guests who exercise sporadically, and overall, it's quite clean, but in the evening, the small cups for drinking water were not replenished in time; the most problematic thing is that the guest rooms are on the 17F-27F, and if you're unlucky, you might have to wait a while for the elevator; Executive Lounge🥃: Located on the 27F, the space is not too big. Dinner includes stir-fried noodles, fried chicken strips, and some hot food, as well as fruits, salads, and drinks. The selection is quite complete, but it's often crowded. When I checked in in the afternoon, there was absolutely no seating available, and there were still many people after dinner, so you might have to share a table during peak times; Breakfast Restaurant🍜: The decor and layout are that of an old five-star restaurant, old-fashioned but still clean; food includes bread, porridge, stir-fried dishes, noodle station, coffee, hot tea, fruits, etc. I was in a hurry in the morning, so I just grabbed a bite and left, and you can take drinks to go; Room Facilities🏠: Pillows, duvets, and other bedding are mediocre, but there are two issues: (1) It's close to the overpass, so there is some noise; (2) When you open the room curtains, the outer glass is extremely dirty, to the point where you can hardly see the lights outside, which is quite uncomfortable (To the hotel: Please clean it up). Evaluation: Barely passable. I wouldn't recommend staying here unless it's for a low-price room deal or a business trip.

⛰【Travel Tips】 This time, I visited Kunshan·Suzhou with my parents, staying at the Courtyard by Marriott Kunshan, but the main purpose was to stroll around the recently popular Bao Island Another Village cultural and commercial street. 🚗Transportation Strategy and Introduction: It's only a 2 km drive from the Courtyard by Marriott Kunshan, very convenient by taxi, and quite popular. While in the taxi, the driver told us that the main attractions here are the Mazu Temple and the market of Bao Island Another Village next to it, with the whole area featuring Minnan architectural style, which is very eye-catching. Indeed, from afar, we could see a large expanse of Minnan architecture 🕙Opening Hours: Open all day, with the most visitors in the afternoon and evening, and no admission fee. 🌟Highlights: Bao Island Another Village has many popular photo spots, as well as many buildings and real social scenes from Minnan and Taiwan. Starting from the Jiji Station at the entrance plaza, you enter the nostalgic area of Bao Island Another Village, as if you've traveled back in time, with retro red-brick buildings and old-fashioned shops, advertising signs, etc., reminiscent of Taiwan in the last century. Additionally, there's a variety of Taiwanese snacks to indulge in. 📌Little Tips: Don't eat too much before coming, as there are many tasty shops here , and the lights at night create a great atmosphere.
