The hotel is nestled in a traditional Chinese neighborhood, close to the busy Nanjing Road shopping area and within walking distance of many attractions in Shanghai. The rooms offer a mix of basic amenities and some luxurious touches, but the outside noise from ongoing construction until late at night can be bothersome. The dining options, although included in the package, could use more variety to cater to different tastes. The service is a hit or miss with some staff seen chatting while others provide friendly and attentive service.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location was convenient, close to the bustling Nanjing Road and the tranquil riverside, but the service left something to be desired with staff more focused on chatting than assisting guests. The dining experience, however, was a highlight with a delicious spread including options for vegetarians. The facilities were adequate but lacked standout features.
