Staying at the Hongta Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Shanghai 1. Overview Overall rating: 3.9 stars (5) Membership End Before the holiday, Marriott launched a flash promotion, which coincided with my trip back to Shanghai during the Spring Festival. My activities in the next few days were all in Pudong because I had to go to the Shanghai Museum East Hall for a two-day exhibition, and there was also a gathering in Lujiazui in the next few days. I don’t want to go through the hassle of driving back and forth, so I can go to bed immediately after finishing my daily activities. I also want to save more Trip Coins at the beginning of the year, and then use them to exchange for a room at the Ritz-Carlton, Jiuzhaigou during the off-season. We booked two nights, the calendar room was basically over 700, with the Pudong consumption voucher it was just over 500 per night, and then an additional 3000 points per night, free breakfast for two, and 1000 welcome points. The history of the hotel is well known to Marriott fans in Shanghai and even across the country. It was the St. Regis, a Luxury Collection Hotel, and then no one knows what happened next. The hotel has been open for 24 years, which would have been a legend 24 years ago. I have the impression that Schumacher and the Ferrari team liked to live here back then, and the luxurious wedding of former Chinese national football team and Shanghai Shenhua star Shen Si was also held here. The lobby still gives you a sense of the glory of more than 20 years ago. The hotel is located on Dongfang Road, very close to Lujiazui and Yaohan, and the location is very convenient. (Pictures 1-4), the concierge doorman is absolutely relatively qualified and in line with the brand positioning, but if you do not actively request a room, you will not be sent directly to the room. 2. Rooms and Benefits We arrived very early on the day of check-in, and the front desk informed us that only two rooms had been cleaned, an executive room on the executive floor (converted to a connecting suite), and an ordinary room on a lower floor, but facing Dongfang Road (better view). We asked for a lower floor, thinking that the room had a door that led to other people's rooms, although it was locked, it still felt strange. The room is 48 square meters, but it is too old after all. The maintenance is not good. The carpets have turned yellow and black. There was a musty smell. The most important thing was that I searched for the safe for a long time but couldn't find it. I called the front desk and was told that there were no safes in all the rooms in the hotel. If I had any valuables, I could only deposit them. I asked for a pillow, but the housekeeping department didn't seem to be paying attention and sent the wrong one twice in a row until they delivered the correct buckwheat pillow the next day. There are only two modern plugs in the bedroom of the room, and the remaining ones require an old plug converter, which is extremely inconvenient. The tea bags and water delivery were so poor and not worth mentioning. The spare parts have not been replaced for many years and are still Byredo, which is worthy of praise. Welcome to ask for two fruits An apple and a banana. Better than the free traffic lights provided by many hotels. There was a night bed and a plum candy (two years ago they were given imported chocolate, which has shrunk significantly).
