We had comfortable stay in a clean room with all the necessary amenities. City view was nice and the location was great where we could walk to many places with inexpensive didi ride back after hours of sightseeing! Wifi wasn’t great but then it really isn’t at any hotels we stayed in China. We definitely won’t mind staying here again when we come back to Shanghai!!
