Courtyard Shanghai-Pudong

The hotel was completely unheated. Rooms, bathrooms, restaurants, everything was freezing cold. After complaining, I got an electric heater for my room, loud, without a thermostat... Booked executive, the corresponding lounge only opened in the evening, food very average, always mushy spaghetti, vegetables, rice, that's it. No daily newspapers. Rooms and furnishings old and gloomy.

Overall it was quite a pleasant stay. As a marriott platinum member, I was upgraded to an executive room located on the executive floor. I stayed for 3 nights thus was given a total of 3 drinks vouchers. There is a lounge on the 16th floor which is open from 4pm onwards and is accessible by platinum members and above. Between 5.30pm to 7.30pm, the lounge serves a decent spread of food. The location is excellent as Century Avenue station can be reached easily by cutting through the shopping mall. The water pressure from the shower is awesome and strong. The carpet near the aircon seems to be moist during our stay.

I came over to stay just because it is Coutryard. But i am left disappointed. Room is okay, but outdated. Hotel breakfast was so so. Having stayed at another hotel nearby in my previous trip and impressed with their breakfast , i was expecting similar standards because Courtyard is an international brand. I certainly wasnt impressed and will try another hotel in my next trip.
