Thanks.
I have been to Suzhou but not Tongli; and have stayed at the Sheraton (great place, sorry to see it go soon).
1. Tongli is not that far, so I think it would not cost an arm. Be sure the driver has the meter ON.
2. Always several cabs parks on the ground level in front of the hotel. I don't think you need to reserve. To be safe, just ask to concierge.
3. Ask the concierge, same go for #4 & #5 (that depends on what would you want to do there; ride a boat and tour around? or just walk around?)
