Jinjiang Inn Shanghai New Hongqiao

We stayed here after flying into Shanghai Hongqiao airport after midnight and had reserved a room to spend the night before catching a high speed train the next morning. Check in went ok. The room was very poor - it did not match the pictures that are here. You have to wonder if there are multiple standards for rooms in this hotel based on who the guest is. The bed a reasonably comfortable. The bathroom could have been cleaner (as could the remainder of the room). There was no bottled water in the room. You might be able to purchase it at the front desk - we were too tired to ask. They put us on the first floor so it got a bit noisey in the early morning. When we went to leave, we opened to door to find two business cards for ladies of the night on the door jamb.

The hotel offered what I needed,,. A place to sleep. No wireless and since I only brought an iPad this was not convenient. They did have taxis waiting for me when it was time to leave in the mornings but finding the hotel was not easy. My taxi driver got lost.

tried very hard to think of some tittle for this review but couldn't come up with any. I got the late Friday evening Although it is very easy to access from the airport but it was kind of difficult to get the front desk to understand that i need quick access to the internet( there is a problem with the internet line on the first floor) so try not to stay on the ground floor. Also seems like the ground floor is commonly used for those who want to spend a night with some one and have sex so if you plan to get a good rest Likely it won't be possible. the staff are very Kind and with in a block on metro direction you have many kind of restaurant ( not Western). also across from metro station there is huge shopping complex ( like Walmart). I forgot, if you are Non smoker , be ready to deal with the smoky small almost all over. it seems like there is no definition of Smoke = Bad health =Dead nothing like that.
