Howard Johnson Pearl Plaza Wuhan

Overall, it was a great experience. We got 3 rooms for our family of 6 w/ 2 kids on the 20th floor. This hotel is next to the river so the view is stunning. Overlooked the great Yangtze River. Night view was mesmerizing. All the skyscrapers lit up in sync around the city along side the river. Jaw dropping. We went in mid June and the river was flooding due to heavy rain. There's a big walk way next to the river where lots of people went to hang out even when it's flooding. Real cool. There's also a famous street similar to Beijing Road in Guangzhou a few blocks down. Forgot the name. There's an upscale modern mall called MixC 15 min taxi DD. We're from California and this mall is comparable to our socal South Coast. During summer flooding season, it may be an issue traveling to the other side of the bridge, so just keep that in mind. I gave it a 4 star for cleaniness because I expected our room to be a bit better. One of the rooms we stayed had this old, a bit smoky smell. I'm assuming someone smoked in it given majority of the population in china seems to be smoking like a chimney. The Pearl gave us great modern comfort to an alienated(to us) city.

A wonderful experience for a weekend getaway with friends.

Nice hotel with great location. I will be back again

The Position is quite nice. Just a short stroll to Wuhan bund, the River and to Hankou's nightlife area (esp. Lihuangpi lu). It's a bit old, but everything was fine for me so far, so nothing to complain. There is also a restaurant and a club lounge, but I haven't visited them, neither the pool or the gym.

be clean and well positioned

Very dated decor, but has a great view.
