I recently took my 8th-grade son to China for the first time, and we really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. From check-in, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious, clean, and had a beautiful river view. I highly recommend choosing a river view room—it’s slightly more expensive, but the view from the balcony is incredible and worth it.
The room was cleaned daily, and we were very comfortable throughout our stay. I really enjoyed the hotel food, especially the traditional Chinese dishes. My son is a picky eater and didn’t care much for local cuisine, but we were both happy with the breakfast buffet. It offered a nice mix of Chinese and Western choices. I didn’t include breakfast when booking through Expedia, but I plan to next time.
A big reason I picked this hotel was for the gym. My son plays basketball and baseball back home, and having a gym was important to him. He really liked the gym setup and also spent time enjoying the pool. The hotel’s facilities overall were excellent for both of us.
The only downside was the lack of laundry services. Unlike other hotels in Shanghai that offer washers and dryers, this one didn’t. I had to take a 20-minute taxi ride to find a laundry spot, which was a little inconvenient.
Overall, we had a great stay and will definitely return on our next trip. The location, service, and amenities made it a memorable experience.
