I have stayed here a couple of times and, OK, behind the shining foyer the hotel is getting a bit run down but the service has been as good as I have found in the Peoples Republic of China. The rooms are faded but comfortable, and the buffet is good throughout the day, particularly for breakfast. At the price, it is above average. Tourists may want a more central location but the metro is fast, efficient, cheap and just outside the hotel. I'll be back...

We really enjoyed our stay here and found it to be good value for money. The room was spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable. We were on the 11th floor which had good views of the city. The indoor swimming pool and sauna were good and the staff were helpful. Our only concern was that the location isn't too central but there's a metro station just outside and it was easy to get around the city using this, or by taxi which is cheap. The hotel restaurants were quite expensive so we used the local restaurants and cafes near by instead. The hotel is popular with business people and international tourists. Overall it was a great stay and we felt it offered good value for money.

We were part of a Pacific Delight Tours group and this was the first hotel on the 13 day itinerary. Our stay was brief as we arrived late on a Friday evening, went touring all day Saturday and checked out early Sunday morning. Two Shanghai stadiums are across the way including the venue for the 2008 Olympic (Women's I think) soccer. We were quite pleased with the property overall. We had non-smoking and recently remodeled rooms on the 14th floor. The rooms featured a large 32" LCD TV, good lighting, ethernet port (did not have time to use), nice bath lotions etc. Fitness room was great as well as the indoor pool, sauna and hot tub. Very good breakfast buffet with a good selection of Western as well as Asian menu items. The center of town can be easily reached by subway or a 25-30 minute cab ride away. By the way, there's a nice department store across the road called Foxtown. If you are hungry go to the basment level for the food court and you will find about 10 different inexpensive food venues. We had a dinner for four around $10 US! There's also a McDonald's in there as well as a Papa John's. Wish we had a chance to stay there longer. Maybe next time.
