The following questions are about condominium living (not hotel).
1) How to translate 'suite' and 'ensuite' into mainland Chinese? Should it be translated differently?
2) Does 房子 refer to a house rather than a suite in mainland Chinese?
3) Does 公寓 sound like a whole building rather than a suite?
I am quite confused and need help immediately. Many thanks!

suite有点指一个大的结构物里面分割成各个专门用途，比如卧室，浴室之类的。公寓符合这个条件。

ensuite bathroom or ensuite shower room 就是配套浴室 的意思
房子 在大陆属于普通常用词汇，可以指 house ，也可以指 suite
公寓的意思如下：
现代汉英综合大辞典

公寓
[gōng yù]
（能容许多家居住的房屋） flats; apartment house; apartment; housing; rookery
（租期较长、房租论月计算的旅馆） lodging house
