The hotel has everything needed from breakfast to laundry. The staff is friendly and enjoys practicing their English or helping you practice your Chinese. The breakfast has some nice choices of fried vegetables varying daily, and congee, baozi, bread, and hard boiled eggs every day. I got my laundry done and delivered to my room for only 10 renmbi. The room is modern and clean with a nice big bed, tv, desk & chair, all inside and a nice clean bathroom and shower. It is a little cramped having all this in a small area, but I was able to get my work done on the desk, and the room had a nice view. I compare the Xinzhuang neighborhood to Queens, NY. It has everything, and the center of town (Manhattan or downtown Shanghai) is only a 40 minute subway ride away. The hotel is very convenient to the Xinzhuang 1 line station. Just exit from the North side of the station, take the ramp to the left, and after going down the ramp continue straight past the huge bicycle parking lot on the right to the hotel, also on the right.
