A great hotel
The location is great, just a 3-minute walk from the subway station or Nanjing East Road. The hotel is beautiful and my room was comfortable. I really want to give this hotel 10 points, but the hotel charged me $8.44 for losing one of my room cards, which made me uncomfortable and unhappy.

DON’T STAY HERE!
Rude employees. Room not cleaned over 5 day stay. Sheets not changed. Argued with guests. Better hotels right across the street. Crown Plaza, Radisson, etc. Used to stay here for business but NEVER AGAIN!! Looks good but it has gone down. Try other places. Don’t get fooled like I did.
