Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Jing'an Temple is currently the only Holiday Inn Express hotel in the inner ring of Shanghai's city-level commercial district, adjacent to the Shanghai Exhibition Center and Jing'an Temple. The Yan'an Elevated Road, which runs through Shanghai from east to west, passes in front of the hotel, which means it has a unique location advantage. When I walked into the hotel lobby, accompanied by the brand's fragrance and music, the fresh, simple, yet modern and stylish design style instantly gave me an extremely relaxed and comfortable experience. The hotel has a total of 118 rooms, fully equipped and efficient. I stayed in a king room this time. After several versions of updates, the Holiday Inn Express brand has retained its distinctive features and highlights, while continuously improving details and enhancing the check-in experience. For example, the comfortable color scheme, ample open luggage storage area and hanger set, premium mattress, signature soft and hard double pillows, and brand toiletries, all have a high level of comfort according to brand standards, and are familiar and friendly to members. The hotel has a 24-hour gym on the second floor, as well as a free smart self-service laundry room, which is more thoughtful for business travelers. The hotel breakfast is located on the first floor, with a variety of buffet dishes and local specialties, and the brand's signature noodle soup is worth a try.
