Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Central

Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Central

6/10 Okay
"The first room 1917 that we were allocated to smelt mushy to the extent that it is extremely unbearable in the night. When asked, the helpful staff at the front desk offered that we change room a level down. We agreed as the smell was not present thereafter. Overall, the stay was pleasant for the price point. 10mins walk to the Metro station with 3 intersecting lines makes this hotel well positioned. The Shanghai Railway Station was also about 12mins walk away."
