This is the hotel to stay at in Shanghai, good and affordable!

Marriott Bonvoy Elite Status Challenge for College Students 05 - The Hongta Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Shanghai I have travel plans after the New Year, so I don't have much pressure to stay at hotels recently, but I couldn't resist collecting a room card when I saw such a big discount. I've also heard that it has become a Marriott canteen, so I lowered my expectations in advance. Date: December 28 (Saturday) Price: RMB 430 after Pudong consumption + Shanghai consumption voucher Opening/renovation time: 2001/2017 Location: 500m from Century Avenue subway station, right at the junction of high-rise buildings and old neighborhoods, quite convenient. Public area: The old money style of the three old hotels in Century Avenue, it used to be a St. Regis, so the specifications are not low, the building materials of the Luban Award are quite solid, and it looks slightly better at night than during the day. Room: I booked an executive king room, but when I went there at 7 pm, there was no vacant room that had been cleaned, so I was given a regular king room, a reverse upgrade. But the rooms are all the same. The hexagonal bathroom is quite interesting, and there is a large mirror on the side of the bathtub facing the sink mirror, which is a strange design. The room does look old, but it's not as bad as they say. I tried the lounge chair that cost more than RMB 10,000 twenty years ago, and it was really comfortable. The view at night is nice, you can see the three-piece set. Lounge: In the first-floor restaurant, I didn't go for afternoon tea, the happy hour quality was okay, the desserts were slightly less, the food was replenished in time, and it was a Marriott canteen, nothing to say. Facilities: I didn't have time to go to the pool, the gym facilities are rich in variety, you can see that although it is old, it is also a good facility. Breakfast: In the second-floor banquet hall, this is a real canteen, crowded and noisy, the variety is quite rich, and the taste is okay. Service: The front desk feels quite professional, and I found a hair in the happy hour food, after I mentioned it, the manager came out to apologize and said he would serve another plate, but I was full and in a good mood, so I let it go. Location: 8.5 Public area/facilities: 7.5 Cleanliness: 7.0 Room: 7.5 Service: 7.5 Dining: 7.5 Summary: 7.5 The Hanting Hotel in Lujiazui costs more than RMB 300, what more can you ask for at this price? Come and check in before the rebranding, after the rebranding, there will only be four Luxury Collection hotels left in mainland China.
