🏆 **Best Location – No Brainer Choice**
1. **Workshop Creative Hotel**
*Irresistible Perks:*
✅ Steps away from Wuma Street! Enjoy late-night *Dengzhan Gao* (local snack) until 2 AM
✅ Industrial-style concrete walls + neon lights = Instagram-ready photos
✅ Borrow ripped denim jackets for free at the front desk (¥100 deposit)
*Dealbreakers:*
❌ Soundproofing ≈ nonexistent! Hear every detail of your neighbor’s dowry negotiations
❌ Weekend price surge (¥398 vs. weekday ¥228)
🌊 **River View Lovers – Budget-Friendly**
2. **Starway Hotel (Jiangxinyu Pier Branch)**
*Visual Treats:*
✅ Oujiang River cruise views from your window, 5-minute walk to the ferry pier
✅ River-view rooms at ¥150+/person – unbeatable value
*Sleep Saboteurs:*
❌ Street-facing rooms suffer truck noise – insist on high-floor *non*-river rooms
❌ Only 6 river-view rooms! Book 7 days ahead
3. **Wenzhou Marriott**
*Nighttime MVP:*
✅ Free sushi at the executive lounge + panoramic mountain light shows
✅ Unlimited *Nuomi Fan* (glutinous rice) with meat broth at breakfast
*Location Woes:*
❌ ¥25+ taxi ride to downtown, no direct metro
❌ Standard rooms barely fit a sideways suitcase
🛏️ **Luxury Seekers – Pick Your Poison**
4. **Wenzhou Westin**
*Sky-High Perks:*
✅ 35th-floor restaurant with city views + Heavenly Bed™ for bad backs
✅ 3-minute walk to *Zhuzang Fen* (pork intestine noodles)
*Luxury Flaws:*
❌ B3 parking reeks of mildew, B1 free spots require luck
❌ Pool water murky as a pond
5. **Shangri-La**
*River View King:*
✅ Watch Oujiang light shows from bed
*Survival Mode:*
❌ Food desert! Instant noodles cost ¥45/bowl
❌ Downtown taxi fare = 3 bowls of *Nuomi Fan*
🍽️ **Foodie Paradise – Quirky Stays**
6. **WenDuyuan Hotel**
*All-You-Can-Eat Heaven:*
✅ Free 3 meals + midnight roasted sweet potatoes! Beef noodles overflow with meat
✅ In-room massage chairs + free laundry/dryer
*Grim Details:*
❌ Bed sheets dotted with stains, rusty kettles
❌ Spotty WiFi – gamers beware
👨👩👧 **Family Favorite**
7. **New Century Grand Hotel**
*Kid-Friendly Wins:*
✅ Walk to Science Museum + children’s play area
✅ Breakfast *Zhuzang Fen* + seafood buffet
*Hidden Costs:*
❌ Forced ¥50 "linen cleaning fee" at checkout
❌ Dated facilities (think 1990s guesthouse)
⚠️ **Avoid at All Costs**
**Wyndham Hotel:**
❌ "Ocean view" = peeking through gaps, beach is 2km away
❌ Breakfast downgrades to plain congee after 9 AM, pool has mystery floaters
**Miga Wild Luxury Hotel:**
❌ 40-minute mountain drive, with *outhouse-style* public toilets!
❌ "Private pool" = bathtub-sized, afternoon tea cakes hard as bricks
📌 **Wenzhou Hotel Golden Rules**
1. **Night owls** → Workshop (Wuma Street hub) / WenDuyuan (all-inclusive meals)
2. **River views** → Starway Pier (budget) / Marriott (light shows)
3. **Families** → New Century (museum access)
4. **Red flags:**
- Westin’s mildewy floors (request 20+ floor)
- Shangri-La’s food desert (bring snacks)
- Weekend price spikes (book Thursdays)
> **Pro Tip:**
> For local vibes → Wuma Street area (Workshop/WenDuyuan)
> For river views → Starway Pier
> Splurge on Westin’s sky-high beds
> Miga Wild Luxury ≈ survival reality show!
> Remember: A Wenzhou hotel’s worth is in its breakfast bowl – no *Nuomi Fan*? Not legit!
