JI Hotel (Shanghai Hongqiao Zhongshan West Road)

Location is a bit inconvenient as taxi drivers had a bit of difficulty finding this location as well as the fact that there are not a lot of train stations located within reasonable walking distance. However, the rooms were very spacious and well cleaned. Room came with everything that I needed and the staff was attentive and helpful. Cleaning staff also did a very good job. Beds were comfortable as well.

Nice hotel overall. Very clean. Free coffee, tea & water in the lobby. Room clean. My room had a coffee table & small recaing chair, but no desk & chair set to work at in the room. To be fair, they had working table areas in the lobby area. Breakfast was pretty good, not great as no scrambled eggs option. The rest of breakfast ok. Gym was a couple treadmills, but no weights or weight machines. Location good, very central - but no 7-11 type stores close to entrance & metro station was about 15 minute walk. Easy to get Didi pick up. Nice park about 10-12 minute walk away. Overall good and liked it, not great. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.

The room is clean. The flat screen TV is huge. There is no mini fridge and safe in the room, however. The bed is on the hard side but suits me well. The breakfast is tasty but basically stay the same day over day. The breakfast runs from 7 to 9:30 in the morning. It got crowded during peak time. Staffs are efficient. A bit more smile on their face would be nice and go a long way. The worst part is the cigarette smoking odors from time to time. The entire building is smoking free but a few guests did not behave well on this regard. They did smoke behind the closed door.
